KC Sim 2 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 Pieter C : And what sharp eyes you have!!! The B727 in the Moomin shot is B727-200F XU-RKF of Asialink Express Air with Royal Khmer Airlines title. It has been sitting around at Changi Airport for sometime already. It was supposed to operate a Phnom Penh - Singapore - Jakarta - Singapore - Phnom Penh trip daily . . . Raymond's dedication to aviation photography is amazing . . . having come to Singapore after a week's work in KUL, a day of photography at KLIA, an overnight train ride to SIN, he continued with five days of photography at Changi from sunrise to sundown, and from moonrise to late night!!! Besides a camera bag, he dutifully carried his tripod . . . and he naturally was amply rewarded (though the weather did foul up his plans at times). With each successive Star Alliance plane recorded, Raymond's smile grew wider until it reached both earlobes as he bade goodbye to Terminal 2's departure flight board.

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 21, 2006 XU-U4C PMT Air Cargo An-12. Can see her approaching from far b'coz of the black smoke trail. Raymond, Thanks a lot for sharing This would have, definitely, been my highlight of the trip: rare registration and aircraft-type also become more rare in the coming months/years; This AN12 looks like an ex-military one: grey colours suggest Ukranian, can anyone confirm ?

Chaity 1 Report post Posted September 22, 2006 Get well soon Raymond. It must be those rainy shots making you sick. Edit those sunny days one first might help . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Ngu 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 Feeling better today but still not fully recovered yet. Anyway, took up Chaity's advice...... edit sunny shots 1st. Never get tired of her. Such a difficult plane to catch. For a week of spotting @ SIN, only saw her on 6/9/06 (Wed). One more shot of 9V-SPP, gears retraction in progress with anti-collision light. Er.... I think i got Star Alliance addiction. Just couldn't get enough of them. 9V-SQG takes off while 9V-SPP is taxiing to Terminal 2. For Uncle Pieter, PH-BFI "Jakarta" on finals runway 20R. Check out those huge engines. 9V-SGE coming back from CGK at noon time. TC-JDN on finals runway 20R. KUL used to have Turkish. I think they pull out starting yr 2002, if not mistaken. Still saw them around in Nov 2001. Hope u guys enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 For Uncle Pieter, PH-BFI "Jakarta" on finals runway 20R. Hope u guys enjoy. I enjoyed the pictures a lot, Raymond Guess 'Jakarta' was taken from the Changi beach, with how many mm ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raymond Ngu 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 I enjoyed the pictures a lot, Raymond Guess 'Jakarta' was taken from the Changi beach, with how many mm ? Pieter, Yes, it's taken from the changi beach. Poor trees there, shake a lot whenever a plane lands. It's 116mm multiply by 1.5 crop factor = 174mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeeCH 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2006 Raymond, Great capture of the Star Alliance series. Hopefully the A3UGLY, when it is no more delayed will come in 1 Star Alliance livery for all to see as well. Also not to forget the B773ER in Star Alliance as well.
