Pieter: By DXB u mean the tower building in the background? Yes, it's the newest building in town destined to be the landmark of the city (including a helipad).

 

BTW, do you remark something?

 

Indeed, uncle: meant the tower in the city... :pardon:

 

Wow, this is fantastic !!! I saw her pre-delivery @ AMS once returning from a test-flight; must have been +30 years ago...have never seen her since... :sorry:

 

Used to be RP-1250...surprised to see, now only 1250... :blink:

Birds combo :finger: metal birds and feathered ones!

Cpt. Radzi, don't you worry, there is only an illusion of bird strike since this photo was zoomed at 240mm =>distance compression. Anyway, TIAGS (Airport ground service) frequently sent tractors to cut down the grass and bird chasing cars.

Birds on the runway today? No worry, no birds when I was there yesterday.

Some wonderful action in SGN from you guys! :clapping:

 

How is the weather like in April? Will be going to SGN and probably Phú Quốc too. If time permits, I might try to do some spotting in SGN. Any tips, guys?

Flee, you are welcome to SGN in April. Weather'll be dry, sunny and hot. Expect heatwave from 10AM till 3PM, sunset will be late around 6:00PM (7:00PM KUL time). It would be same as in Phu Quoc but the sky is clear, blue. U'll find only ATR72s (VNA and Vasco) and CRJ900s (Mekong Air) at Phu Quoc Airport (PQC). Kanehoshi and Khiem will add further details.

It's preferable to go spotting at SGN during weekend so we can escort you to the locations and makan/minum between photo sessions :drinks:

Great picture :drinks: ..Could it be TPE ?

Pieter, Li Ren: Thks, Pics were taken around 4:30PM LT. By deducting 1h30' flying time, they departed KUL at approx. 2:00PM LT. It's very likely one is D7 2682 bound for ICN (Korea) or a delayed departure to TPE (D7 2672, ETD 9:50AM)

Sawadee Prompong, u're right it's the same aircraft. You've complemented TY068 first flight from BKK to SGN and the sky at VTBS was much better :good: Happy New Year to you and your family
