Radzi 2 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 US President Obama is visiting South-East Asia (Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia) this week. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2012/11/15/obama-asia-trip-china/1707827/ This C-5 is from Dover AFB. There is a C-17 in Seam Reap today, also from Dover. I believe these aircraft are in support of the visit. KUL could be an alternate to the Air Force One, just like a few years ago when Obama visited Indonesia. These aircraft probably carried the equipments to secure the airports, just in case the need arises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KS Ong 1 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Went flying without my camera for the first time in a very long time and this beast decided to drop by. The C-5M 'Super Galaxy' Judging from the photos, the C5 was repositioned to a remote bay near MTB facing Rwy 32R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S M Tang 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Soon to be a common sight in KUL. Judging from the photos, the C5 was repositioned to a remote bay near MTB facing Rwy 32R Yup. Remote bay B63 to be precise. Would it be possible to get a decent shot of her from the drop off area on the departure hall?

The A388s will definitely be worked harder than their old B744s. Five aircraft will be needed to do the double daily LHR and daily CDG services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted November 17, 2012 Saw this on the 13th. Any pointers on the owner and aircraft type? Some sort of CRJ, I presume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted November 17, 2012 Radzi, Challenger 850 (purpose built CRJ-200 business jet, unlike Airods N888GY which was converted to a VIP config after a reasonably short life in airline service). As a side note, conversion of used CRJ's (typically 100's and 200's) into business jets is a booming market at present, providing a large cabin, roughly 3000nm range jet (if Long range tanks are fitted during conversion) for the fraction of the price of a brand new equivalent aircraft, and quickly. CRJ's have a service life of 80,000hrs or cycles, most exiting airline service (after being replaced by far more fuel efficient turboprops) have only 20 - 25,000hrs (and equivalent cycles) and with a typical higher use bizjet flying 500hrs a year, in theory (certainly not reality) you have a jet good for another 120yrs!

Radzi 2 Report post Posted November 19, 2012 The C-5 carried some some ground equipment, which was left on the cargo apron. They are to be used to support this guy..... ..... which parked exactly where the C-5 was before. While I didn't see anybody around, the generators are in use and make a lot of humming noise. I wonder what the guys inside were doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted November 19, 2012 The Doomsday plane is a C&C for the Commander in Chief should anything untoward happen. But then again, it was said that AF1's communication gear have been improved to the point that the E-4B is superfluous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JingKai Seah 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2012 Trying something new. Time lapse. http://youtu.be/lXjy39VLFj8 Superb timelapse bro.. but 1 tip.. maybe you can try to make your shutter speed lower.. so that the timelapse will have a little bit of animation feel to it.. if not, the planes looks like they "jumped" from places to places instead of "moving" fast from one place to another.. hope you understand what i mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted November 26, 2012 JingKai, I think you meant "the time gap between shots" rather than shutter speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JingKai Seah 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) JingKai, I think you meant "the time gap between shots" rather than shutter speed. Hi flee.. I actually followed a tutorial from here: vimeo.com/videoschool/lesson/9/timelapse If you read it.. it mentioned this: Use slow shutter speeds to blur motion in the frame for a cool effect. Fast shutter speeds give a more choppy look. So I believe its that in order to make it more "smooth" if you like Edited November 26, 2012 by JingKai Seah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
