Anyhow thanks for sharing the photo of Romeo Lima and the Su-30MKM LeeTZ :)

What aircraft was that? Could it be brake-related?

Yes, it was. There was a photo of -FFC, and it actually looked fine, nothing dramatic.

 

-FFC seems to have a lot of sickness. I was on her in one of my trip to KL. Scheduled departure was supposed to be 0620am. When all of us have boarded the aircraft, we still waited until the captain announce that there's problem with the air-con packs. We were delayed 1 hour plus. Finally took off at 0730am. Normal route for Miri-KL would be over the South China Sea but when take different route via inland. Flew over Btu, Kch, Singapore, JB and approach KLIA from the south.

Do we have traffic between Sarawak and Kelantan? Good of AK to introduce KCH-KBR but I wonder if the demand will sustain the route. I noticed that AK has since the start of the year, reduced the KCH-SIN service to once daily when it used to 2x daily. If SIN can be reduced, I am skeptical about KBR.

 

Anyway, with MNL in the works, I guess Cebu Pacific has withdrawn its plans to ply the sector.

G'Day everyone!

I will be stopping in at Kuching for a week on holiday (from Australia)! I am just wondering where there are good spotting locations around the airport and the times they are good for? Because I may decide to go spotting on the trip.

Cheers, Lachy

Funny looking AK5345 heading to KCH instead of KBR with reduced altitude... technical prob? or FR24 error. I hope is the latter
