Recommended Posts

Thanks Hon Kit.

 

Not from the bus stop. From the crash gate near the cargo area. Standing on the water pipe. Not very safe la!! Nearly fell off.

 

Also, Jln Bayan Lepas has been closed both ways. Could not get to the small river area today because of that.

Fantastic shots, Laurie! The first one is my fav, I like the combination...Queen of the skies gracefully returns to earth with the lush foliage behind.

Most of the time I go Rwy 04 is used. I personally think you'll have a better chance with Rwy 04. Rwy 22 usually in the afternoon, yet Rwy 04 can often take over as well.

 

The bus stop spot is ok. You might wanna pull some balancing act on the steel pipe there. :-)

There is now new fencing inside the old fence at the bus stop. The new wire is about 2 feet higher and standing on the pipe, or rock, will not really get good shots anymore.
