Tamizi Hj Tamby 1 Report post Posted January 17, 2007 Guys, It's been a long time since my last post here in this section. Went to SBW Airport this morning,to sent my dad and my aunty to KCH,as my aunty was scheduled to have a medical check-up at Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) on 2.00pm. Before making our way to the airport,suddenly,a heavy downpour strikes SBW! I was shocked,and hoping that the downpour will be a moment only.Thank god,by the time of arrival at SBW Terminal,the rain had stopped,and this is my chance to take some shots.At first,i thought that there will be lots of passengers at the check-in counter,but later i realized all the check-in counter (MH,AK,D7) were quiet.Only few passengers checking in on that time. These shots were taken using Sony DCR-DVD755E Camcorder.So i'mterribly sorry for the photo quality The only aircraft on the SBW on that time.The only incoming aircraft will be on 0725,AK5920 from KCH.Later i realized the VMY 2007 logo and stickers! SBW Departure Hall.You could see the cleaners sweeping the floors.I hate to go here,when it was overcrowded by people The only cafeteria at SBW Airport.They just opened their premises,so nobody is inside the cafeteria. Later I moved forward and I was so happy to see this:It's the VMY 2007 sticker and logo! After bidding farewell to my dad,Later i went to the open spotting field for more shots (and also to checking the reg of the aircraft) I'm still searching the reg,and the fences are the main problem here,in SBW SBW Cargo Complex..Note the peeling paint on the wall The MH B734 CFM Engine Hehe.. so happy to see this 2nd batch coming up.So stay tuned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamizi Hj Tamby 1 Report post Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) Alright,here's the 3rd batch of the photos. PART 3: MH 2713 (SBW-KCH-KUL) A/C:Boeing B737-4H6 (9M-MMS) After all passengers went onboard Mike Sierra,the ground crew begins the pushback.Here's the set of the photos During the pushback,3 crews were in charge.The Pax load for this flight was quite good,as many of them are heading to KUL.MAS SBW District Manager,Mr.Abdul Rahman Hj Hassan was also onboard this flight to KCH (Later confirmed by my friend at SBWTO) The pushback still in progress.On that time,it was raining at SBW. Uuu...so happy to see this Pushback completed,and the towbar is now released from the nose gear.Now the ground crew is doing the pre-departure checks.To Captain Radzi,Dante,Syidan and all MWings pilots and virtual pilots who had flew the 737s,this photo is dedicated to you! Wonder what takes them so long to check the a/c Going Beyond Expectations Still haven't leaving the a/c yet?? Pushback completed! MH2713,Wishing you a safe flight,and god speed! Mike Sierra heads to the end of runway for takeoff SBW Open viewing spot.This is where the SBW folks spotting with their own eyes.I guess most of the SBW photos at A.net was taken here.Most of the SBW photos in A.net was taken by Raymond Ngu and Capt.Radzi himself (when he flies to SBW).Guess that other MWings spotter team at other places were lucky than ours The Main terminal.Opened in 1994,and now the terminal complex is 13 years old.Wonder when the redevelopment of SBW Main Terminal project will begin <_ wei sri tpk you will come to rebuilt sbw terminal arr src="%7B___base_url___%7D/uploads/emoticons/default_mad.gif" alt=":angry:"> Malaysian Two Seven One Three,you are cleared to take off. Mike Sierra storming the wet runway!! Wahhhh.... I was about to scream when i take this shot!!!! After that,i've decided to go back,as the weather condition began to worsens.While on my back,I've nailed this Russian beast! You guys want to know what's that Russian beast? I'll let you guys think first,than you tell me the answers later So,that's all for me,and thank you for viewing.As usual,do leave comments or constructive critics and suggestions in order for me to improving my aviation photography skills. Thank you and happy spotting Best Wishes from The Swan City, Tamizi-SpeedBird-Hj Tamby Edited January 18, 2007 by Tamizi Hj Tamby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
