SS Lee 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2013 Made a trip out to Singapore. Here is What I've got "from the inside".

The window of my seat was rather dirty and full of scratches IMG_2200 by sslee86, on Flickr Cathay Pacific A333 (B-HLV) swaying in rough winds as it approached the runway. Our aircraft (A320) experienced simillar, if not more turbulence just before landing IMG_2208 by sslee86, on Flickr Lion Air B737-800 (PK-LKI) IMG_2211 by sslee86, on Flickr Cathay's A333 safely on the ground Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SS Lee 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2013 A very interesting day at the airport this morning. IMG_4675 by sslee86, on Flickr Thai Airways A300-622R (HS-TAT) IMG_4711 by sslee86, on Flickr Firefly ATR 72-500 (9M-FYJ) IMG_4760 by sslee86, on Flickr Cathay Pacific A340-313X (B-HXE). Was really excited when I caught a glimpse of the extra engines on the wing while it was rolling down the runway. From all the time I've been spotting, CX only operates 330s or 777s in/out of Penang. IMG_4837 by sslee86, on Flickr Royal Air Force C-17A Globemaster III (ZZ178). Yet another rare sight at Penang International Airport. IMG_4890 by sslee86, on Flickr AirAsia A320-216 (9M-AFR) IMG_4925 by sslee86, on Flickr Sriwijaya Air B737-500 (PK-CMC) IMG_4964 by sslee86, on Flickr China Southern Airlines A320-232 (B-2395) There are a couple more shots of AirAsia and Malindo here.

SS Lee 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks flee, peter. I gotta try my luck some other time to get that CX 744. I myself too was surprised when I saw the Sriwijaya Livery. This is the third "version" that I have seen, and the first time on a 737-500. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SS Lee 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2013 Hi Raymund, I got two, 9V-SLQ and 9V-SLR. I presume you were in SLQ as Sriwijaya Departed before SLR arrived. Here's both of them IMG_4882 by sslee86, on Flickr SilkAir A320 (9V-SLQ) - A bit blurry as I lifted the camera above my head as high as I could to avoid the fence IMG_5241 by sslee86, on Flickr SilkAir A320 (9V-SLR) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PNGspotter 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2013 There's news that Dragon Air will launch daily flights to Penang next year using A333. Probably CX will say good bye to Penang. Then lesser chance for us to see the CX 747-400 pax version landing here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SS Lee 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2013 Gosh, all the more reason for me to go and catch the CX 744. Anyway, manage to catch it using a point and shoot. Please excuse the quality. Apparently it is coming in again later at approx 7pm-ish. So which means there is a good opportunity to catch that 744 tomorrow at about 750AM (CX692). Will not be able to get it tomorrow. Hope it comes again during the weekends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SS Lee 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2013 Here are some from the spotting session yesterday. IMG_5380 by sslee86, on Flickr Thai Airways A300B4-622R (HS-TAX) Just my luck perhaps? The day I went for spotting was the day they used a 773. Not complaining though as I've never caught a 777 departing before IMG_5435 by sslee86, on Flickr Cathay Pacific B777-367 (B-HNN) And for the usuals into Penang IMG_5472 by sslee86, on Flickr SilkAir A320-233 (9V-SLG) IMG_5521 by sslee86, on Flickr Tiger Airways A320-232 (9V-TAQ) IMG_5536 by sslee86, on Flickr AirAsia A320-216 (9M-AQB) IMG_5590 by sslee86, on Flickr MAS B737-4H6 (9M-MMY) IMG_5625 by sslee86, on Flickr Another tiger, this one with stripes (9V-TAV) IMG_5681 by sslee86, on Flickr Firefly ATR72-600 (9M-FIA) And to conclude, may I declare the unofficial Penang FedEx Day IMG_5493 by sslee86, on Flickr The first was an MD-11F (N589FE) IMG_5573 by sslee86, on Flickr Second was another MD-11F (N610FE) IMG_5656 by sslee86, on Flickr Third was a A300-600F (N721FD) That's all.
