MAB to Re-Introduce the B747-400; 9M-MPP in Retro Livery

Recommended Posts

Got this from somewhere.

 

 

 

9M-MPP will be operating to LHR from 5th May to 26th June 2016 on Day 1 & 3 as MH4/MH1.

 

May, or may not be true. Spotters can be on standby

That's good news Azizul. Hopefully soon we win the Jeddah bid too and we can be proud of that as well :)

Good luck in securing the new JED for Malaysia.

 

On paper and considering every factors, especially those of recent, there is no way in 2.6 billion years that MAHB will lose this deal. It's in the bag and for us to lose.

Thanks for the heads up, Sofian! :good:

Managed to get MC tomorrow? Hehehe :-)

Thanks a lot! :)

Will there be any event or perhaps a water-cannon salute for her? I wonder if she will head to a gate?

No event until this moment. Maybe tomorrow they will do something last minute?

She will be park inside MH hangar.

Aircraft pushback and had its engine run up and taxing but returned to parking at hangar. Looks like technical issue.

The aircraft was force to be towed back to the hangar due ACARS problem

Not an auspicious start to a career as a 'back up' vehicle :)

The aircraft has not been flown for quite sometime so I reckon she needs a test flight for C of A

Is "back up" the same as "gostan" into the hangar?

Nope, not judging by that pic with Norman posing nearby the bird :) Edited by BC Tam

Base on BC Tam's statement, he did not mention 'back up' as the action of the 744, but more towards the function/role of the 744 as a 'stand by/fill in/backup' vehicle.

I see. By the way, if the landing gears of the 744 are retracted, can it still be considered as a "stand by" or a "sit by" vehicle?

I normally don't go crazy over the 744 (Personally I find the A345 beautiful), but that is one beautiful angle of the queen. Well done!

If B744 landing gears are retracted, it could be:

1. in the air

2. in the hangar on jacks during maintenance check on retraction and extension of gears

3. in the ditch when landing without gears

the 747 is so beautiful. I hope MAS will use it long term.

Provided they first replace that ageing interior, or re-purpose it for daytime short-haul international flights.

 

Anyone knows if the 744 is on lease or owned by MAB?
