KS Ong 1 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 Happy 7th Anniversary to MalaysianWings. How time flies. It was a great fun meeting you all in BKK and special thanks to Prompong for hosting us and the delicious Thai-Chinese food. The weather was pretty much overcast with some heavy showers here and there during the weekend. On the first day and as Flee mentioned, some of us went out 'under the rain' to shoot the African carriers. This is what we got for Ethiopian. On the second day, the weather was almost the same and we had a lazy, relaxed spotting afternoon. Most of the time, we will just sit down and shoot as our butts were too heavy to lift up. But, when there is interesting traffic approaching, we will dash to the end of the balcony. By the third day, the sun came out and greeted us farewell whilst we were packing for KUL. To further confirm Waiping's request, the Skyteam plane was China Airlines (B-18311). It was formerly the sweet plane. Come afternoon as we leave for the airport, the weather started to be gloomy but it did not last long. Towards 2.30pm, the skies cleared. I will load more pictures later. Haven't quite charged my batteries. As for the next anniversary, where should we go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC Sim 2 Report post Posted July 3, 2012 So ... the carpark aunty has made a big career move to become the snake-oil saleman. Indeed it seems like a tonne of fun in spite of the missing sun. Love the shots of Egyptair, Thai retro B744, China Airlines Skyteam A333 and RTAF B737-400! And just reading about the roast duck, crispy pork (moo krob) and char siew (moo dang) at that restaurant is enough to send me into a salivating fest. I will be enjoying that from 5-8 July when I too will stake out the spotting locations at BKK. Hope I have better luck with the weather. With longer haul destinations becoming a reality with LCCs, perhaps Narita/Haneda for Mwings 8th Anniversary! But perhaps a Plan B is needed : If the KLIA 2 is opened by then and the weather station reopens, perhaps the celebration should shift back to KUL weather station (and who knows what might be possible on Observation Hill too).

Waiping 12 Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Group Photo (special version) Can anyone identify your Camera ? Whichever you grab will be yours to keep. More food photos. All between 40 - 45 baht. In KK this can easily cost you RM7.50 (approx. 75 baht). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaity 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2012 Ha ha Waiping, why all your food photos look blur ? Either you were too hungry or the food was too delicious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
