Ricky Tiong 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks for the comments guys. Chaity, glad you liked it. Got plenty of props that day. Walter, it is due to the strong wind. In fact the N winds was really gusty that day they switched the active runway to Runway 29. It was very fun watching them landing as they would be banking left to right. Raj, it was a little cloudy but a nice day nonetheless. More for you when I have a bit more time. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeeCH 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 Ricky, Great shots of SQ there yah. I myself looking forward to NZCH now as there is a reduced frequency going in there, which equates to a longer stay. Meaning spotting oppurtunity. Keep em coming in the summer OK? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvin B 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2006 Great Ricky. lots of photos.. Any more of the A340??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky Tiong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2006 I'll quickly add a few more for you guys. Kelvin, as you loved the A345, here's a few more: And for Uncle Pieter, This aircraft is under tow but I see two pilots? in there. What is the requirement when towing? And a close up on the tail with your name? A few more rare visitors from OZ This one sneek past me... And a bit blurred Ricky, Great shots of SQ there yah. I myself looking forward to NZCH now as there is a reduced frequency going in there, which equates to a longer stay. Meaning spotting oppurtunity. Keep em coming in the summer OK? Cheers. Glad you liked it LeeCH. I thought SQ is planning to upgrade to daily for CHC route? Either way, with summer coming it's much better for spotting. I'll definitely go spotting again come summer (and after my exams). Do give me a yell if your staying over the weekend from Nov onwards. Perhaps I can meet up with you for a spotting session?

Ricky Tiong 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2006 Nice shots, Ricky, it's not the tail with my name, but the registration PAL Nice radar on the Learjet...is this one used for calibrating the ILS ? Not sure what exactly it's used for. The other thing is that it has an Australian registration. I managed to dig up this info for it though...
