Radzi 2 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 This was seen in MYY on the morning of March 7th, Tuesday. This comes out from the belly. And then they close up and go. Didn't actually see it fly away as I went off already by then. Rego was RA-82042. Helicopter Rego was C-GOHA. Should be in malaysian register soon; it was the replacement of a Super Puma that becomes a submarine sometimes last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Interesting to see how the huge Antonov opens its cargo doors. It appears the nose can even be lowered to facilitate loading / unloading of cargo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Good catch Capt Radzi Very rare indeed, especially in MYY.. Most probably the chopper being leased by MHS from CHC as you said to replace the SuperPuma morphed to submarine.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth K 3 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Well, I think IAH has schedule flights of Big Bird cuz everytime I pass humble, I saw this beast+s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imran K. 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Any cracks on the runway? Hmm...morphed into a submarine...more like an artificial reef... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azuddin 1 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 Well, I think IAH has schedule flights of Big Bird cuz everytime I pass humble, I saw this beast+s i saw it flew over I-45 a few times. there's one time i saw the Mirya 225. Mirya is indeed bigger and longer then Ruslan 124. i like seeing it gliding slowly during IAH approaching. Also saw the 225 at TPE a few times.

KC Sim 2 Report post Posted March 10, 2006 i wonder who is that heli for, the color looks like MHS. It went from Miri to Singapore, landing at Changi Airport in the afternoon before 1500hrs.
