Singapore Changi Airport Spotting

Recommended Posts

I don't see the big deal of putting it on public domain. But then, I'm not the most powerful man in the world so I don't see it as a problem. Haha.. I seriously forgotten about it landing in Payar Lebar as AF1 is a military plane and every time it flies its considered an Air Force mission and normally military planes land in military bases.

 

I read on another forum and they said that last time when Bush came AF1 landed in Changi. Is it true? Oh and I read that they closed highways and jam cellphone lines for 6 hours too!! All for 1 man. Incredible! Now I know why the President of US of A will NEVER come to M'sia. We can never jam our cellphone lines for so long. People will start complaining. But if he does come to M'sia one day, it'll be a field day for the spotters. If he lands in KLIA, we've got it covered. If he lands in SZB, we still got it covered :) Not sure about Simpang though but I think we still have that one covered too! Haha..

If anyone know people staying in the condos around SZB, you can shoot from those condos too!

Hey I was 2 meters away from the Chinese Deputy Premier a few weeks ago. I hope you guys get a few metres within Obama. :rolleyes: Good Luck

 

I dunno man. I bet security will be super tight. I'm guessing they'll issue a Presidential Movement on the NOTAM at Changi too. Its the most powerful man on Earth flying in. But if you guys do get a shot of the AFO, PLEASE PLEASE post it up here. I wonder if the AFO will ever touch down in M'sia. Cheers!

Well, thats the Chinese one. We're talking about B.Obama now! I think catching a glimpse of him would be an amazing feat already.

Nope. Last AF1 visit was at PLAB as well. I do recall seeing pics of the aircraft there (news reports).

 

Canadian Air Force A310 and Mexican Air Force B757 just came into WSSS this morning. Japan AF's 2x B744s arriving in 2 hours, followed by 2x Rossiya IL96s. I think only the 2 VC25As go to PLAB, given the high security.

 

Any chance of Singaporean spotters nailing the Air Force One?

Even if we could get her at PLAB, from the schedule it looks like she'll come and go under the cover of darkness.

Hi Colin..how's the Bus...?

 

 

Yo TK...haha guess what ....limited destination on this "small lady" for the time being. Getting a bit dull. Flying wise....accuracy superb but she cannot take turbulence well, Ecam actions horrible lengthy and tedious Unlike the solid American built heavier counterpart ( you operating and my ex babe ).

 

Nevertheless...it's good fleet for my sectors accumulation. Cannot complain already. haha

 

Hope to pay you guys a visit soon. Anyone in sin keen to head up KL soon day trip spotting?

 

Leech, KC, Tsen Tsan, Kian Hong ??

 

 

SherM : Welcome...hope u enjoy the sub standard images. Cheers

Hmm I'm just putting up a guess as it was given a parking bay near the VIP complex and not thrown to the former Singapore Airshow site like other non-APEC related private jet movements were. However, it might be a pure coincidence and brought in some other APEC related commercially important person (CIP) from Hong Kong instead.

During same event (APEC) took place at Kuala Lumpur about 11/10 years ago,if I can remember correctly, US sent their Boeing VC-25A (747-2G4B) to Malaysia that time but I sure the callsign was not Air Force One since onboard was former Deputy President, Al-Gore.I can remember because at front page of Migguan Malaysia (Malaysia weekend newspaper) had an article of head government aircraft with pictures as well.

The day started out with some nice sunshine in the morning, then fair weather cumulus & high cirrus in the afternoon. Down to some TCU & CB in the late afternoon and it looked like its gonna pour anytime soon. But the weather managed to hold up with some sunshine in between until sunset. A fruitful day in NOV! :D Btw, I was spotting with bro Nguyen - our one and only 'Vietnamese' hail from Sarawak. :p

 

Thanks for viewing. Cheers. :)
