Penang (WMKP/PEN) 2014

Recommended Posts

MIR, SS Lee, thanks.

 

Wasn't expecting the GLEX. Doesn't show up on FR24 like most other arrivals.

 

Only managed to catch a Longbow Apache once at PEN. That was in March 2013 when it arrived en-route to LIMA 13.

UPS B767-300ER (N356UP)

Finally glad to catch this. I saw this coming from a distance, and was real cloudy. A hole in the clouds allowed sun to shine through. Though the moving speed of the open patch of sun was moving faster than the approach speed of the UPS Freighter, hence the dark shot.

And to end it all, here's Silkair's second 738 (9V-MGB). No closeup shots as they were all dark.

 

Thanks for viewing.

 

Have a great weekend.

Thanks. Just happy to be able to be so close to it. The large winglets somehow add a certain level of elegance to it.

Hi guys, wanted to ask if Garuda still fly the CRJ to PEN? It is shown in the destination list on their website but not on the search engine.

Same one, wow. Looks like a very looong return trip haha. Though I seriously doubt it was in China for that long. Must have bounced around at other regions before making a stop in Penang.

Atlas Air N476MC departed PEN for PVG earlier today, around 0900 as EY9973. This bird is quite frequent to Malaysia, it's also the same aircraft which transported the Red Bull Air Race planes and Formula 1 cars.

Oh, I thought it was heading back to Abu Dhabi. Does it mean that there's a chance of seeing it back in Penang soon?

More coming up.

Nice Shots. You got the Cathay Cargo as well. Were you there the whole day? Is the "crash gate" near the bus stop?

 

 

Don't think I have ever been to the place you got the Sriwijaya and Malindo.
