Maarof Kassim 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 Concluding Amazing Sunday. As I said I cought a few 747s. This is MH Labuan . Putrajaya was over Putrajaya moments before. Amazing Thailand, yes that's what is written on its body. This Qatar Airbus aborted landing for no apparent reason. The right engine is smoking a bit. But it came back later, wobbling to the left. Wobbling to the right. It landed safely though. Last but not least, my last catch before going home, Cargolux. Bye for now. Btw I will be on leave till the end of the year. Hope to spot again.

Norman 1 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 My solute to Mr Maarof for the dedication of whole day spotting and superb photos that he shared with MWingers.. This Sunday morning weather was exceptionally good with blue sky and scattered cirrus clouds... So off I went to Obs Hill for a short 2 hours plus spotting with my significant half. Emperor was already on the Obs Hill when we arrived (After I woke him up from his slumber by asking him to look out to the sky...) Here are some collections... and special tribute after hunting her for almost six month... I'll share the big size later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will post the photo once editing is done. Good one Norman, I can imagine you carry your camera all the time while in the office. No idea why the Austrian was delayed...

razlan 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Yesterday, went to OH and Ladang for a spotting session with my 7yo son. Met Raymond, Yong (or was it Chan?) and another MW member (sorry, forgot ur name) at OH and again met Raymond and Yong (or was it Chan?), and later TK at Ladang. The sun was shining beautifully but late afternoon, rain drizzled with dark clouds looming. Here are some pics took during the session. A320, A320, A320. From right Foxtrot Alpha, Foxtrot Maarof and Foxtrot India Its raining Boeing B734s. From right MMV, MMJ, MQF & MMM At last, managed to spot the elusive heliconia.... Yabedabedooooo Future pilot/spotter feeling the heat at Ladang Thanks raymond, yong (or was it Chan?) and TK for the company. To those that I dont remember his name, my apology.

I guess I must be the lucky one to get the "invitation" most of the time. I didn't drive my car up. Some other families were parking their vehicles at the OH entrance that attracted the attention. Norman, you got me there with the camera phone in the office. Next time you can go spotting with your phone. The one at least as power as Meor's phone. Razlan, so many planes in one frame. Yesterday's heavy traffic must bring joy to you and junior, Raymond, Yong and the other spotter. M.Hafiez, see you next time-lah . OK, here are some more photos with the Tiga-Abdul ...... Before that at around 9:25AM, saw this Qatar A340 being towed to Gate A2 (I think) after removing the engine covers. Heliconia meet Hibiscus Tiga-Abdul in one frame What can I say when this little guy join in the fun ? Edited December 26, 2006 by Chaity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
