dennisqt 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2017 She was here yesterday but didn't manage to spot her. If I'm not mistaken, this livery is brand new and just rolled out not long ago...probably few days or within one or two weeks. She arrived at WMKP this morning around 7:38 AM. And departed to Medan (KNO) as flight QZ103 at 8:19 AM. Presenting PK-AXV wearing new livery - Wonderful Indonesia livery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SS Lee 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2017 They really had to find a place to put that registration eh with all the designs. On a separate note, saw on FR24 an aircraft named A342 departed Penang and looks like it was headed towards Sarawak / Sabah area. Sultan of Brunei in town?

Flown all the way from Broome (BME) to Jakarta (HLP) then Langkawi (LGK) and stopped at Penang (PEN).

SS Lee 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 Now one can assemble their own working life sized plane. One would either feel proud of being able to get their own plane in the air, OR one could be terrified and wonder if all the screws and rivets are in. Interesting catch nonetheless.

SS Lee 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2017 Nice one Dennis. It is a good thing that they are now doing works on TW A. Can get rotation shots at this point. Though judging by the distance it used, I'd say it was a rather light load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though judging by the distance it used, I'd say it was a rather light load. Usually when the MAS A350 light load , they certainly will rotate around taxiway Charlie. Looking forward the second A350 (9M-MAC) come to Penang soon. Not sure when it will be.

I was aware of the approach of A400M (as I was tuned into WMKB radar freq). I think they were here for low flyby before continue their journey to somewhere (most probably to Butterworth AFB). The belly shot of MH A350 9M-MAC totally awesome. Thumbs up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
