[razlan 0]

Hi all,

 

This is my 1st posting with pictures. I frequent trips to Sepang International Circuit for work. Here are pics of planes and heli during certain event. My apology for the low quality pics, only using 200mm lens.

 

MotoGP testing 15th to 17th Nov 2006

 

MASkargo's B747-200F. This was taken at Turn 5

 

Vietnam Airlines' Airbus A321. This was taken at Turn 9

 

FedEx's McDonnell Douglas MD-11F. This was taken at Turn 12

 

Four engine (might be 3?) airplane probably on the way to Australia

 

 

A1GP 26th November 2006

 

MHS Aviation's Ecurail. This was taken from Upper Tier Grandstand, Mall Area. The round shape casing houses the TV camera

Seth, i think those turn numbers are the circuit's turn number.... maybe you can refer to formula one website for the numbers

If you look at the map below, number 1 means Turn 1. No 2 = Turn 2 etc

Razlan, any part time job for me in Sepang? hehe. I have experience in event jobs.

Nice stuff, Razlan. Pretty good pics even though without powerful zoom.

 

And for a change, we're talking about pics taken at "Turn #" instead of "Twy/Rwy #".

Welcome to MW Razlan.

 

Nice to see some of the planes in flying position with landing gears nicely tucked in.

 

You can access to all the turns in Sepang F1. Are you working for some sports magazine ?

More pics. These were taken on the last day of MotoGP test

 

MASkargo's B747-200F. This was taken at Turn 4. Not sure if it is the same plane as the first posting but engine cowling is different color

 

EVA Air's Airbus A330 (Looks like B767)?. This was taken at Turn 4 as well. This was really out of focus. Cannot decide which to take, World Champ doin a wheelie or B747.

 

Thats all.

This is a refreshing view with the FI stand in front.

 

He he! It would be difficult for me too if I were to cover the race and plane spotting at the same time.

Yup, F for Freighter. Among all shots I took during the test, I like this picture the most. Was hoping to get plane, bike and K1 grandstand in 1 pic but kenot get right timing... Hehe
