Chaity 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2006 I was at 32L in the evening. Usual traffic with lots of MAS planes. <_> I took some close up shots instead. Tripple 7 coming in and had a really smooth landing later. Airbus turn. The person looking out from the third window must be thinking "Ah! Reaching my destination soon and I wished to have my camera to shoot that spotter down there." After quite a boring wait for sometime, the sun went hiding behind some dark clouds. AK 320 came. Aiseh! Why not the Red Devil ? I haven't got a shot of that plane yet. Thinking it must be AFA or AFB, just gave a few clicks-lah. After that, saw AFD !!! Waited until the flying pencil Decided to make a move and strated packing my things. Started my car and saw a 4-holer coming. OK-lah! Watch her land before I make a move. When it came closer, still couldn't see the livery. Did my eyes do tricks to me and all I can see was white ? Quickly open my bag, grab my camera and on it, un-done that damn seatbelt and rush out of the car to get this shot while my handphone was dangling 3 feet from the ground by the handsfree kit. Nice short spotting session even though lighting was not that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 25, 2006 hi guys...what r those white tanks on the A340 pic...is it jet's fuel tank? White tanks? Fuel tanks for all commercial airliners are in the wings and the fuselage. They are not visible from the outside. Do you mean the wing root fairings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 25, 2006 why the light install under the wing? Instead of installing those in the fairing close to the fuselage, Airbus opted for the "drop-down" types under the wings for the A320, a la the "drop-outwards" on the MD11 nose, or 737 drop-down wing-"tip" ones...

I think he meant the tanks "in the" LH346 pix.. instead of tanks on LH346 hehe.. a lil misunderstanding over words OK sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes they are fuel tanks. There is an underground pipeline from Port Dickson to the KLIA Fuel Farm (that is what that place is called). From there again it is distributed by pipelines to the parking bays for fueling the aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 hi Pieter, sorry for burst ur explaining... coz my poor english... really sorry... btw, may i hav a more detail one? Sherman, sorry about that; let me try to explain in more simple English: A320, landing lights will drop-down from underneath the wings - like AK A320 you saw... different aircraft have different options...take a look at this link of a Russian YAK-40: http://www.flugzeugbilder.de/show.php?id=450570 they come forward from the nose...this will also happen with the MD11, like I said before... Boeing 737's have landing-lights in the wing-fairings (close to the fuselage) as well as drop-down ones near the wing-tips (sorry, couldn't find pictures to show you)...maybe, captain Radzi can explain more about those when in use on the 737's (as they are not always used, I noticed). Hope, it's more clear now; it all depends on the manufacturer how to install what kind of lights... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
