Pieter, great shots from KLIA!

JA811J will fly a couple of more years for JL by the way. It's one of our best cargo machines... A shame we will not see them anymore at AMS now, since we introduced the converted -400 freighter.

Baaahhhhh, Kevin, just checked BFA this afternoon and miraculously 'Pieter' disappeared from 'the Flying Dutchman' :o :p :rofl:

 

Let's continue with sunday KLIA 25jun06:

 

Both Poslaju 737-200's were parked and, unfortunately, didn't move an inch that day :angry: :

IPB Image

 

Rain gone, so the same girl of the previous day (VT-AXG) revealed her face to us, just a wee bit:

IPB Image

 

A nice 'short' 767 for me was this Mauritius registered one, as they don't operate into AMS:

IPB Image

 

Cargolux is only visiting AMS for maintenance checks with KLM, so you're very lucky to see her as a regular at KUL :good: Here is LX-FCV during her take-off roll:

IPB Image

 

Not a baby bus, but a 'real' 767-300 for me today: V8-RBK going back to Borneo Island:

IPB Image

 

Was extremely happy not to miss this Mad-Dog PK-LMY of MAI:

IPB Image

 

This one is dedicated to Azahan: 'city of Orlando' on finals for 32L as Kay-El eight-zero-niner:

IPB Image

 

7O-ADT was a nice finalization of an extremely well-spent spotting weekend at KLIA: thanks, guys, for all your assistance and friendship :good: :drinks: (the fuselage-spot is not a dust-spot, but a passing libelle :angry: ):

IPB Image

 

next..................Don Muang/Bangkok-Thailand ;)

After an excellent flight on board TG0420 (HS-TJF), I was met by Levent for some spotting at BKK-Don Muang om 26jun06:

 

We went to a small village underneath the left runway, and the 1st aircraft to pass our lenses was this C130 of the USAF: 74-668, not bad for a start :good:

IPB Image

 

Next one to follow, was this A340 of Gulf Air, A40-LB, dressed in one of the most beautiful colours ( :sorry: Imran :sorry: ):

IPB Image

 

Traffic from various continents can be seen at BKK; here is the flying ad of "Kelloggs" from Kenya and registered as 5Y-KQY:

IPB Image

 

LeeCH visited this country recently and has shown us some remarkable pictures of her homebase; SU-GBY is seen here on short-final for the right runway:

IPB Image

 

From Egypt, we travel a little North and will 'land' in Turkey, and so is this A340 TC-JIH:

IPB Image

 

Was not able to photograph this beautiful ah-moi at KUL, but she couldn't escape my lens at BKK: here 9N-ACA is on short-final:

IPB Image

 

Good to see a lot of military traffic at Don-Muang :good: Here 60110, a C130 of the Royal Thai Air Force is seen coming in for landing:

IPB Image

 

Only a few air-forces operate the Aermacchi G222, and Thailand is one of them; was extremely happy to nail this beauty and what a fantastic roaring sound she had:

IPB Image

 

This one is dedicated to you, Imran, and before you shout again 'mana EK', I'd better 'publish' her here, the red-belly A6-EBD:

IPB Image

 

 

and..........this one is for you, Levent, because we both didn't notice the registration while landing; it's ET-ALL with an additional '60 years' sticker proudly on her nose:

IPB Image

 

KUL will see 300's as a regular, BKK's gates are graced by bigger 330's; A7-ACF is one of them:

IPB Image

 

B-17926 is a nice looking MD-90 of UNI-Air, subsidiary of EVA...was happy to see her again after an absence of 5-6 years at Kota Kinabalu:

IPB Image

 

Seen her before, with shots taken at Vantaa/Vanda, but even Moomin likes the warmer climes of Thailand and OH-LGF took her there:

IPB Image

 

0169 is a nice looking Beechcraft 1900, however, looks more as a Police versus Air Force/Navy aircraft to me:

IPB Image

 

more interesting shots to follow/ to be continued...

Nice shots from BKK :good:

 

Thanks Norman, here are the rest of the BKK pictures (afternoon till sunset):

 

Never seen by me before and, therefore, another new carrier for me was this Tiger A320 9V-TAF:

IPB Image

 

Expected an A340, however, didn't mind seeing this OE-LAN, an A330 in new colours:

IPB Image

 

RTAF was very active that day, and after 60110, this 60107 came in:

IPB Image

 

"Another Herkiebird, Pieter" shouted Levent, however, it was this XU-395 of Jetgo, an Antonov AN-12 :good: :

IPB Image

 

46-158 is the registration of this PW-modified Dakota; note the "King 60 years" sticker on the tail, similar to the one carried by TG on the nose:

IPB Image

 

Druk used to operate with 146's, but now modern A319's are used on the BKK runs; here A5-RGF:

IPB Image

 

First time to see an EVA-pencil...B-16701 is seen here arriving from LHR:

IPB Image

 

Since you guys like the Hercules so much, here's a shot of the 3rd one landing: 60108:

IPB Image

 

We went to the 'viewing deck' at the airport when the sun moved to a wrong position for shooting landing aircraft; seen from the deck are HS-TDD and HS-TDE of NOK, in their colourful liveries:

IPB Image

IPB Image

 

Bangkok Airways is another very colourful airline from Thailand; look at these stunning liveries on the A320 and ATR72:

IPB Image

IPB Image

 

Bangladesh Biman operated with this A310 into BKK; just look at the aircraft on the military side aswell: a RTAF 737 and a 747SP from the Middle-East:

IPB Image

 

RPDL-34132, an ATR72, operates between Thailand and Laos; nice tail colours :good: :

IPB Image

 

HS-PGK is another ATR operating to another neighbouring country - Kampuchea...Bangkok Airways titles were replace by Siem Reap ones:

IPB Image

 

Unable to make a good shot of her in HKG, she passed my lens at Don-Muang: HS-UTM of 1-2-GO :) :

IPB Image

 

Not complete strangers at KUL are these Tristars...here HS-AXE coming in from HKG (?) and joined the other two parked in front of the TG maintenance base:

IPB Image

 

Hope you've enjoyed this sofar.....to be continued with the next airport: ZRH !!!

The Dak was, surely, one of the highlights....her wizzing sound was similar to the Kingair - very gentle :good: :D

Nice catches on Eva's B773 and Nok's colorful birds with ad.

 

I think the Thai Sky L1011 was not going to HKG. Maybe ICN or TPE.

Thanks for the input, guys, let's continue now the the last airport of my 1 week's spotters trip: Kloten :p

(pre-warning: ah-mois :huh: )

 

Parked at the gate for a long time, as needed some repairs, was this Swiss (ex SwissSun) A320 (look at the lousy job they did with the removal of the 'SUN' part :angry: ):

IPB Image

how about doing repairs like this :mellow: :

IPB Image

 

Nice viewing deck and the 1st time I was able to see the Alps in the distance:

IPB Image

 

For LeeCH and Colin - nice combined promotion of Zurich Airport and Singapore Airlines:

IPB Image

 

Was surprised to (still) see the EMB145 HB-JAM in the old Crossair colours, which I think is much nicer than the current SWISS colours <_ :>

IPB Image

 

Look at the nice vortices from the wingtips of this N390AA, just after take-off from runway 16:

IPB Image

 

Operating in an all-white 'colour'scheme and not without reason if you watch the registration closely:

IPB Image

 

Can anyone translate this Ukranian into correct/proper English for me ? :p :

IPB Image

 

One of the best looking bizjets around that day was this G-XXRS, a Globalexpress:

IPB Image

 

Great head-on shot of the Airbus A340-600; can anyone tell me the airline ?

IPB Image

 

Zurich Airport is now promoting their 'tax free paradise' on this HB-IYS; this one is for you, Azahan:

IPB Image

 

According the registration, it operated for Swissair/SWISS before, but now operating as a business-jet:

IPB Image

 

Hoped for the 'Heliconia', but it was not to be :angry: : here Romeo-Bravo taking-off for KUL:

IPB Image

 

to be continued.....
