T Azahan 1 Report post Posted August 25, 2005 Hello viewers, members and the crew on board. Got a call from my buddy in MH's Hangar 4. "Boss, what are you doing". I said "Mtg laaa". Then the reply "After meeting, come over, your another big toy is here....and hope your Nikon is in the boot. Security now a bit tight but I'll get you in". Then I said "OK OK...and yes Nikon is in my car" . So my meeting with my potential client in Sentul was cut short. An expected 1 hr meeting became merely 20mins. Then my kelisa converted into a Concorde and I drove to SZB supersonically. Letter D is a very special letter to all of us here. D represents 'special' or 'something unique'. Like 'Papa Delta'. And now letter D is showing its muscle again. But this time 'Romeo Delta'. And the motto...."Freedom of Space " I am pleased to present exclusively in this website, significant coverage of 'Romeo Delta' on its final days of Extended-C Check. And as everyone has expected, it wears its new blue outfit. Although the blue outfit is still in a blue plastic bag.....who cares. Enjoy!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eugene Koh 4 Report post Posted August 25, 2005 Azaham, well done mate. Nice photos...Questions: Any idea where will the first destination this beauty will be flying to? Any chance of Sydney being their second daily flight? Also, is MAS painting the wing in gold as pictured previously by Capt. Radzi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricky Tiong 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2005 Looking good! Azahan, you're one lucky man to have access to these rare locations. I remember seeing in a picture that they have the wings painted gold? Is it going to happen with the real thing? Give us more please! We are thirsty for MRD!

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 Azahan, you've got every luck to get into the hangar!!! When is our chance...??? I must say the blue background + black-grey strip replacing the red-blue one will make MRD very handsome when it's doing its job! Thanks for the pics, bro!!

T Azahan 1 Report post Posted August 26, 2005 cheers rozhan. yes, she was the star for me yesterday. i was practically tuned to it and couldnt care less about anything else. but i got to the hangar late in the evening so works on it had practically ended. so ground power had already been switched off so pretty warm inside there. and no lights too!! but whatever the condition, this is just a small issue right??? thanx for viewing..... eugene, how i wish that its first revenue flight with its new blue outfit be KUL-TGG. hahahah my kampung...... ricky, donnolaaaa whether painting to be done on the wing. i doubt so......
