KS Ong 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 Because of this simple message over facebook, the whole world went crazy, including some of mwings members here and ask the million dollar questions, When is the last commercial SP flight and when it will last fly to KUL? And so, we approach Iran Air and proposed our plans for the SP, similar to our Biman's coverage, before the SP is withdrawn from revenue flights and retires by 23 November Classic Iranian design feature wall. Because of US government 'allowing' Boeing to sell 'some and limited' parts to Iran, the SP's life span was extended and went for 'C' check earlier than most of us expected. The 'Farewell Flight' organised by Iran Air and their appointed travel agent, became a 'Sight Seeing' flight. It was confirmed by Iran Air later, that the SP will continue flying revenue flights after the 23rd. It was an uphill task for us, planning and replanning, meetings after meetings with Iran Air, MAB and DCA as there was no firm info when the SP is officially scheduled for KUL sector. We took a chance and yesterday, we went ahead with the coverage after getting necessary approvals, not knowing whether the SP or the -200 will be flying in. The usual airport pass collection and we are to be escorted by the auxiliary police whenever we go. Hon Kit, can't wait to snap snap as we stepped into the aerotrain. Before we arrive at the Satellite Terminal, lets take another wefie. The weather was great, blue skies, bright sun and what could possibly go wrong... Flight DELAYED!. Original ETA was 1040 and New ETA was 1210. So, we went for coffee and chilled-out. Over to the other guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 We drove towards AK's old hangar to position ourselves for its touchdown. We were relatively too early because the plane was delayed to around 12 noon. Plenty of time for testing shots. http://youtu.be/lkYQdsWUhZ8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathan Kong 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 It was never easy from the start. Many emails and meet up with Iran Air Malaysia, MAB and DCA just to get approval from all parties. Ong and Azahan together with the manager of Iran Air Malaysia Weather was perfect that morning. Looking very positive! Introducing airside crew, taiko Azahan and the little bit overly enthusiastic David Mr humble Edi and MWings CEO Gavin. Gavin looking menacing there! Before our target arrives, we have to practice some shots... test shots Airasia over the grand canyon Royal Brunei baby Airbus... if only they send in B787 At 1210, the Jumbo finally comes in...

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 She was late. Nothing new. The two had good Saturday. Testing testing....The heat haze was unfortunately at max. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Azahan 1 Report post Posted December 1, 2014 It was a hot day. Clear skies but the temperature and humidity were torturing. And the heat haze at the runway was at maximum. But the 'kick' of spotting and the passion for aviation prevailed. She was on final at 12.12pm. The worst time to spot. But it was foolish for me to complain. Because, regardless of her limitation, imperfection and age, she turned up as promised. Proven beyond one's imagination that she and her dependable engines, remain reliable. Bravo!
