First time for me to catch this aircraft type. I reckon that this Neptune Air 9M-NEP was repositioning from JHB to pick up some cargo in SIN then fly to somewhere else. Thanks for viewing. Cheers.

kianhong 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 Exotic 'bird' from across the Pacific. My apologies ... i assumed that this bird came from South America. Apparently it's from a rather unknown central African country called Equatorial Guinea. Very very exotic bird indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobK 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2010 I don't think the 3C-EGE came from across the Pacific as I heard it on HF between the Middle East and India late UTC on 24 Aug. Was indeed a nice catch for me too! Anyway, on a different note, did anyone happen to see the Mandala at SIN on 22 Aug (Sunday)? Would have departed SIN mid to late afternoon, local time. It was MDL809 SIN-BPN. I am trying to find out the REG if anyone knows it please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was MDL809 SIN-BPN. I am trying to find out the REG if anyone knows it please? The flight RI809 was operated by an A320, PK-RML. 26/08 A Bombardier Global Express VP-BJI with a very nice light blue livery which matches the crisp blue skies very well. Leased B767-300ER CS-TQI which was operated for Sri Lankan Airlines as UL312 from CMB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2010 29/8 - Sunny blue sky in the afternoon after a late morning shower. Quebec Alpha back to home base from Victorville after almost a year 'holidaying' in the desert. We were speculating whether it will be sold/leased or put back into service. Operating as Singapore 778. It's been a long while since AF sent anything remotely special - F-GSQA in new livery looks great in late afternoon light. BA11 opb G-CIVC 'One World'. Even AK sent 2 specials for Singapore spotters - one of them was 'Skytrax : Best Low Cost Airline' 9M-AHO. Thanks for viewing. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobK 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Heads up SIN if anyone is about, although no doubt it's dark there now. Just heard on HF "China Hainan 7935" approaching position ENREP. Flightstats says he's routing Dalian-Hefei-Singapore, ETA 2340. Expect it on the ground at SIN around 2315-2345 tonight. The selcal code I heard for it should make it B738 B-5405. If anyone eyeballs it can you confirm for me pls? Good luck! Edited August 29, 2010 by RobK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC Sim 2 Report post Posted August 30, 2010 As per teletext, the last stop for 3C-EGE before arriving in SIN was Kota Kinabalu! Perhaps someone from BKI could confirm its visit. KC Sim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was confirmed at 1205, then confirmed again at 1335 and confirmed again at 1425. Finally came at 1450! <_> Following immediately behind was Thai Star Alliance HS-TEL as TG413. Vietnam surprised us with this B777 VN-A147. BA11 was opb G-BNLI 'One World'. We were all wondering if Socceroos had been repainted since World Cup ended quite some time ago. I am glad that it didn't. Look great in such good light. VH-OJS as QF10 from LHR. Thanks for viewing. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
