Maarof Kassim 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Could not spot during the weekend as I had to attend to a few weddings. Instead went on Monday as I was on leave. I was lucky it was single runway operation from 1100 to 1400 hours. Runway 14 R was in use. Here are a few shots I want to share with fellow members. [/size] My first, quite a surprise really, Indian Airlines A320. Had I been late a few minutes I would have lost it. What plane is this? Seen parked at the cargo area. Thai Airbus arrived. Still with old livery though. Followed by Maskargo 742, I think. Maskargo and Maskargo. Qatar Airbus. What do you know, the registration is Alpha Foxtrot Charlie. Another Airbus, Cathay Pacific MH 744 landing. AK Airbus looking straight at me. Must be in a hurry cause as it exited via Charlie 4. This bird was hovering over my head. Sorry birdie, I did not bring any bird seeds. More to follow............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ignatius 4 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Nice catch on the Cubana IL-62... and not to forget a great Indian in the frame... they've the double bogey as well hehe.. New livery for Indian Airlines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Baaaaahhhhhh, Maarof: VERY nice pictures The IC 320 with double-bogey is in new colours - she, sure, looks a lot better than the ones in old-'dress' The Ilyushin IL-62M is in 'Empresa Consolidada Cubana de Aviacion' colours: a VERY long way from home; would really like to know how many stops (and where) were planned to make her way into Malaysia Surely, on a state/government flight...nothing mentioned in the local press about this ?

Maarof Kassim 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Concluding the thread....... [/size] What this MH 737 needs is not a bath, but a repaint! One of my favourites, a Sri Lankan Airbus. Another Airbus, this time China Airlines. What came down must go up. So I decided to shoot the following departing planes Azahan style. Mohon ampun YM Ku. The above Sri Lankan. Cathay Pacific. Singapore which came when I was having lunch. Another favourite of mine, Emirates, Arsenal's new stadium. Last but not least, the flying Dutchman, City of Beijing. It arrived at 14L when it was back to dual runway operation. Could not spot this coming weekend, had to attend some more weddings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent picture, Maarof, just watch that wingflex caused by the generated lift already (Apparently, KLM swapped the BFU from the KL0887/8 (which became BFE) originally planned for 05jun: see my highlights-thread) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norman 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 Nice catch, Maarof... Esp the IC in new dress Waahhhh.... now the "bug" really hit you, eh? Can't spot on weekends... Monday also cannnn.... Nice to see some heavies did early rotations... Weather station spot location is perfect... The "high-powered" AK's A320s will normally take Charlie4 for "immediate intersection departure"...

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2006 That KLM heavy departs I suppose. Judging by the flap-setting and the thrust from the engines, it's, indeed, a take-off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maarof Kassim 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2006 Quite confusing because that contradicts his comment Gavin, the KLM 744 was taking off. It arrived earlier at 14L when KLIA was back at dual runway operation. So I had to patiently wait for it to take off at 14R as I had never shot a KLM before. I am sorry for being a bit confused by the aviation terms. Please teach me some..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maarof Kassim 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2006 (edited) Fantastic shots, Maarof. The Cubana probably brought the Cuban NAM delegation for the conference. Maybe, Tan. But I always thought that VIP planes are parked near the Hibiscus Complex. Nevertheless lucky for me though. Edited June 8, 2006 by Maarof Bin Kassim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
