Jonathan Kong 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2017 I will let the pictures do the justice... many spotters and aviation geeks are here to welcome the first A350 for Malaysia Airlines coming in elegantly and those Rolls Royce are so quiet Flare... the wings are massive but i personally still prefers Dreamliner's wings design close up of the A350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Azahan 1 Report post Posted December 2, 2017 Wow Jon. Handsome boy exited via Charlie Five. But he waited for a minute on it coz the pilot couldn't see our 'Follow Me Shampoo' truck. Finally the boy saw us and we all moved gracefully..... He was getting closer soon. And I focussed on the favourite part. It was my day. For a first time in my spotting history, a nose followed me.

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted December 2, 2017 Since everyone had every angle covered, just a small contribution from my end to this thread. I wonder why on this aircraft, blacked out window plugs are used where the lavatories and other cabin fixtures are located, as opposed to having these window-plugs in the more usual fuselage colour (usually white)?

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted December 3, 2017 A moment that will last in my head forever. Slam dunk or jackpot or may be there is no better word to describe this rare spotting experience, having to be at the back of the 'Follow Me Shampoo' truck with Handsome Boy submitting to our orders. Hehe. https://youtu.be/g29IxYSzPIw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) Nice shots there from you guys~ really enjoy the red-eye coverage.. feels like on the spot. hope to see more lagi. but the nearer and getting nearer photos do really make a debuts somewhere else with more jokes. but we all know that it's DOF effects, and your backpack do caused some issue too.. blocking the vest.

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted December 4, 2017 Before being presented to his family, Handsome Boy had a quick shower to remove any stinky Camembert cheese smell or remaining bits of yum yum Monte Cristo. https://youtu.be/gRqUvA3xvtQ Engines shutdown prior to water canon salute. I would have preferred the water cannon salute to be performed while the engines were running or the plane was in motion. The way it was performed for this one was not epic and new to me.
