On another matter, POB for this morning's B777 trip to KL was 280, so load is good. No idea about the load to WBKK though.

Waiping 12 Report post Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I thought I would just post it here since generally it's a spotting activity. Originally there was supposed to be a grand celebration of Kaamatan Festivity in the town of Ranau today, 7 June and our DPM was to be here to officiate it. Unfortunately tragedy struck on the morning of 5 June when a Magnitude 5.9 earth quake rocked the small town and it's famous tourist site nearby, the Mt. Kinabalu National Park. The original plan was scrap but the DPM still managed time to visit the site, albeit in a different mood and arrangement. The DPM arriving around 10.20am in the rather new 9M-NAB. After a short updates at the VIP lounge at T2, the DPM and his entourage left for Ranau in 3 helicopters - 9M-BKK, 9M-MOH, 9M-YHM, 9M-AWC was also airborne before the three copters did but not sure what role it played. There was 1 EC725 at the terminal too. Time was 10.40am. Knowing from earlier NOTAM information that the VIP movement at T2 was supposedly until 4-5pm, I took a gamble and managed to spot NAB being pushed back at 4.30pm. At the same time spotted 2 RSAF C-130 at terminal 1. It was a mix feeling to see them there with the rear cargo door open. Some of the victims of the earth quake were school children on an adventure trip to Mt. Kinabalu. At about 5pm, the EC725 came back and landed briefly at the AFRS building to offload some of the remains brought back from Mt. Kinabalu. My heart sank and I had difficulty pressing the shutter button. Normally this would have been a great day for spotting, but not today. Definitely not today.

Eddy Liew 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Very sad past few days for us... Hope all victims rest in peace and their family stay strong. Very heartache for those young Singaporeans school children who lost their lives along with the teachers and guides. And of course 6 of our own Malaysians and the mountain guides.
