Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 Small country, sure big ride At its peak, the Sultan's Flight (the name of the organisation managing the fleet - tech crew is from Lufthansa, and fleet is maintained by Lufthansa Technik) had a fleet of 2 more A340-200s, at least 2 GVs (one, V8-008, was yellow throughout, including the wings) and another 747-SP (V8-AC1). These are IN ADDITION to the existing 747-430 (V8-ALI, named after Omar ALI Saifuddin, the present Sultan's late father) and in BI civilian colours 767-200ER (V8-MHB) and A340-200 (V8-BKH, presumably shortform for Bolkiah, the present sultan's name) (and the stored-in-Hamburg A340-8000, V8-AC3). Prince Jefri also had his own A310-300 (then V8-DPD, then P4-DPD, "D"uli "P"engiran "D"igadong, his royal title). During the financial crisis era, the two A340-200s went to Kingdom Holdings of S.Arabia and King Abdullah of Jordan. Before this, Sultan's Flight had a 727-200 (V8-BG1, V8-HM2) and a 727-100 (this one later went to Sultan Pahang, and labelled as Royal Pahang, 9M-SAS, presumably short for Sultan Ahmad Shah.) Btw, the Sultan of Johor has his own G-IV, 9M-ISJ and I think also a Citation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks Mushrif. I found this one from Airliners.net http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0997475/L/ This is the 3rd Boeing 757-2M6 for Royal Brunei. Unlike previous rego of her sisterships, which is V8-RBA and V8-RBB. This one took up the V8-HB1 registration instead. Instead it is V8-HB1. HB1 = Hassanah Bolkiah No.1? A little later it did become V8-RBC. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1003508/L/ I think this was his private ride until he got bored of it. Then this bird went to Kazakhstan's government as their ride. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0602318/L/ Before this, Sultan's Flight had a 727-200 (V8-BG1, V8-HM2) and a 727-100 (this one later went to Sultan Pahang, and labelled as Royal Pahang, 9M-SAS, presumably short for Sultan Ahmad Shah.) Interestingly V8-HB1 was on a previous 727-2L4 Adv. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0294195/L/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
