"Tony, today is MALAYSIA AIRLINES DAY!!"

Recommended Posts

Thank you for the great coverage of the Dugong. Happy for MH for being the first Of the 8th A380 operator to have it on a new livery. Whereby others maintain the same.

Aircraft too big and i should have taken many steps back. I couldn't reduce the bigma lense any further thus frustratingly no full length side shot. Aduh, bodo betul.... :fool:

I was amazed by the almost silence of the aircraft. The sound of the RR was merely 'ssssssss....'

The Queen exited the runway, then slowly taxied for a fresh morning shower.

MWings have all the coverage, from different angle, from dark side to bright side....from high up on OH, to the very grass of 32R... :good:

 

Phenomenal.....

Sorry for delay in sharing my photos.... :pardon:

 

Well.... here are some from my spots...

 

I was stationed just beyond this ILS house near 32R...

ILS_3381.jpg

 

TK warned me not to sit on the other side... but I've stopped being productive.... hehe

 

As it was the 'A Malaysia Airline Day'.... lots of MH aircraft passed by for me to test out the relevant lenses

for my D7000 on right shoulder & D200 on left shoulder...

A380_3432.jpg

 

Overheard in the radio she's requesting a 600' flypast over the runway.... and she peaked from the haze...

A380_3487.jpg

 

Silently flew above me.... sssss....

A380_3506.jpg

 

With nice blue sky above her ....

A380_3507.jpg

 

She proceeded to the end of runway before banked right ....

A380_3521.jpg

 

Few minutes later, she came back for full-stop land, peaking again over the horizon beyond 32R threshold...

A380_3540.jpg

 

Floating in-front of company's welcoming committees ...

A380_3547.jpg

 

at 80mm, my 80-200mm cannot accomodate her already by the time she's almost kissing the tarmac...

A380_3556.jpg

 

thus.... quickly switching camera body ..... AND MISSING THE SMOKING TOUCHDOWN..... aaarggggh :vava:

A3802_8299.jpg

 

anyway.... keeping my index finger on the shutter buttons... continue firing while she rolled-out...

Norman! Waa!! Love that shot so much where she is only half a second from touchdown :yahoo:

Great stuff man!!! All of you!

Norman,

 

Arrgh!!!!!!! Or may be the aircraft is meant to be silent and land smokeless. Hehehe. Cheers mate. That milliseconds to touchdown was superb.

I'm still kicking myself for missing the smokes, bro..... :vava:

 

Anyway..... she taxied back on Alpha towards a waiting Follow-Me-Car... while a company's B738 rotating...

A380_3586.jpg

 

Passing slowly onto Bravo, with the KLIA Tower behind...

A380_3632.jpg

 

Meeting with the Queen of The Sky... (I think B744 is more elegant .... ;) )

A380_3642.jpg

 

A380_3656.jpg

 

Turning into C27, to the waiting welcoming party-crowd

A380_3661.jpg

 

Water cannon salutes... right on cue from left & right.... nice ones

A380_3664.jpg

 

Perfect arc showering the Dugong...

A380_3675.jpg

 

This B738 requested for a slow taxi to enjoy Dugong taking showers...

A380_3714.jpg

 

....and after the shower.... receiving all the attention from the party-crowd...

A380_3733.jpg

 

.... least but not least..... Job has to be done... whatever it takes... right Azahan?... :D

Great photos, guys.

 

I'm happy that MAS didn't trust this historic moment to just regular photographers, but choose to get real aviation photographers instead.

I heard that there are plans to cover the inaugural departure too. Hope all went well and we get to see more pix!

 

Well done - great coverage at MW, always! :)

Nice night shots guys.... :)

 

A little bit behind the scene from me...

 

A3802_8347.jpg

 

The brightside team meeting the darkside team...

A3802_8352.jpg

Funny enough that the brightside team using Nikon and majority of darkside equipments are Canon... :pardon:

 

Finally,

 

Me trying to emulate the darkside shot...

I stop doing that, but i still prefer RAW though.

Unless i have the latest Capture NX (do you have it Norman)

Last night, all the night shots...i thought of shooting RAW, then i change my mind

 

Came back just in time for EURO 2012....wohoo.
