Norman 1 Report post Posted October 12, 2012 We were lucky Fauzi... PapaPapa couldn't wait to get airborne, eventho' the weather wasn't ideal.. Wet-wet "Caterham Jet" (note in double quote...) rolling to get airborne to FL340, destination: Koh Samui But my initial intention went spotting this afternoon was for this Clipper "Convoy7842"... Before that... in menacing cloud coming from the east.. "Mega08" / M30-11 was doing touch&goes... sweet but stern-sounded lady pilot on-board.. Heavy tailwind/crosswind with storm cloud when 9M-FYF arrived... -- Antonov was still on Transmile apron when I arrived SZB at 1530LT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdsaleh 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Perrrghhhh... super rare shot Norman..Philippine Air Force Fokker F-27 The best thing about spotting at SZB,you would never know what you gonna "catch"... Edited October 15, 2012 by mdsaleh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Super duper F-27 catch Norman! I cannot really remember when was the last time I saw this classic. Those RR Dart engines have a very distinctive sound, expecially during start up! I think we should make an effort to have at least one MWinger "on duty" at SZB every day! I also remember RMAF used to have Dart Heralds in the 1960s. They used to be a regular feature of KL skies, along with the Alouette helis... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Woo hoo! Great catches from SZB again, guys! Looks like the USS George Washington is still cruising in or near Malaysian waters, giving SZB spotters a bonanza! Thanks for sharing, guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIR 2 Report post Posted October 16, 2012 Awesome shots, well done guys! .Philippine Air Force Fokker F-27 arrived for a visit.. Nice catch! I wonder if it flew non-stop from Philippines to Subang last Sunday? It is rumoured the PAF officers are going back to Philippines this Friday(19/10). Guess who is in town... Nice find, KS. Good to see it's in Subang again..it went up till Sandakan earlier this month. According to Airframes.org, it flew as 'Dude01' yesterday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
