Ramani,

Thanx for the Lima India shot bro!

 

and Chaity looks so handsome.

 

Chaity's always handsome what, even more yesterday! As promised, he brought good light and good sky for everyone to smile from end to end. :rofl:

 

3 more before I hit the bed again <_>

Good catch there Ramani and I am sure your new toy didn't disappoint you :yahoo:

 

Thanks for the kind words Azahan. Everyone was happy when WT Liew turned on the light and Kevin Teh also kind enough to turn on the fan. :yahoo:

Nice shots everyone!

Where (exactly) did you make these?

I have 16 hour wait ahead of me at KUL in two weeks.

Love to catch some exotic birds!

Never been there, so any tips, maps, suggestions are welcome!

 

Does anyone know how the spotting conditions are from the "Concorde Inn"?

I've not seen such a busy 32R for while. Can you count how many planes there are at 32R? :)

Maybe of interest to KUL spotters, just heard MEM4092 on HF with Singapore, reporting OLKIT which is just off the Brunei coast. Flight gave routing as Brunei to KUL. MEM is Meridian Airlines of the Ukraine, so probably an Antonov of some description. Usually takes about 1:30 from OLKIT to KUL airport so 1330-1500 local I expect it to arrive, depending on what speed it's flying at.

Anyone willing to awnser my question?

I'll be there in a few days. :)

Sorry to miss your posting, Derice...

 

Welcome to MWings... :D

 

As Walter mentioned, safest to spot from Observation Deck in Main Terminal Building...

 

Not sure which 16 hours you'll be in KUL... Obs Deck closes at midnight till morning.

 

You need very powerful binoculars to spot from Concorde Inn, and only for aircraft

departing 32R, and already airborne, or arrival 14L... You can't see the runway from there.

 

Best is still Obs Deck, for the short duration you'll be in KUL...

Hi Norman & Walter,

 

Thanks for your replies! :)

I'll certainly try the observation deck.

But I'd love to catch some birds landing/departing as well.

I've got a 100-400L on my 7D, so should be okay to cross some distance.

 

I will arrive with a morning flight from Amsterdam, and will depart on an evening flight to Auckland.

So I think i'll have most of the daylight at my disposal. (If I can keep my eyes open).

 

I'm willing to walk / take taxi somewhere as well, for example to the 32R/14L runway.

I noticed on Google Maps that there is a road leading up to the runway: http://maps.google.nl/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=2.769235,+101.702113&aq=&sll=52.469397,5.509644&sspn=5.897627,6.855469&ie=UTF8&ll=2.768024,101.699592&spn=0.009441,0.006695&t=h&z=17

 

Is it allowed to go/spot there?

Don't want any issues with the police or anything.

 

Regards,

 

Derice.

Since you do no want to have issues with the police, Observation Deck would be the safest spot. :rolleyes:

Sorry Derice...

I can't get the google map coord as you posted...

 

However.. there's no public-access road that can lead you directly to 32R/14L

part from the road that lead to the 'now-no-entry' Observation Hill...

 

The perimeter road that running parallel to 32L/14R has also been closed to

all traffic for construction of new LCC Terminal.

 

AND... spotting by the fence will always invite the police...

 

So as Keith mentioned... safest is the Observation Deck in the terminal...

Even that... please have your passport/identity with you all the time. There

have been an incident where spotters from Hungary were questioned by

security personnel for taking photographs in the Obs Deck.. for few hours...

 

So have your passport, sample spotting photos, flight tickets so that they know you're

a spotter, and taking airplane photograph is your hobby, and you're on transit in KUL...

 

Good luck.... btw... may I know when you'll be in KUL?
