Greg Wood 3 Report post Posted September 13, 2005 Gidday All. Can't wait to see and photograph 9M-MRD when she visits Perth Airport (WA). Is there anyone on the forum that might know her forward movements. Perhaps if you see this wonderful coloured jet to post it here.

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted September 14, 2005 Haha, Pieter, rarely do I see you getting frustrated. I can see your post on the other site regarding 9M-MRD Guess we will have to be patient and wait for our turn. But it's just that it is nice to receive the insider's info, as S Chang and I do not live close to the airport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 14, 2005 S V, same with me: in fact, to see the 9M-MRD, I even have to go all the way to FRA (about 5-6 hours by car) Have been spotting since 1968 and have missed a lot, maybe that's why I've this attitude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted September 15, 2005 Guys , no need continue asking . If anyone knows about the whereabouts of MRD , He/she will post it here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted September 15, 2005 Pieter, we all missed a lot more than we get. Me, still fuming for missing the announcement here on the test flight, simply because I didn't read the forum straight away but watch TV when I come back from flight. Grrrr...... But don't worry, be happy, someday we all will catch something... We pilots at MAS normally wouldn't know which aircraft we will be taking until we report to ODC. But MRD will be everywhere MH 777 goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 15, 2005 But don't worry, be happy, someday we all will catch something... Exactly, Radzi, some spotters overhere at Schiphol really get annoyed when they miss "something" at Schiphol between 2am-3am, for instance; I'll just say: bad luck, you cann't have it all - some people have a family too, to attend to (for instance), like me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2005 MRD suppose to go to east, it ends up in Vienna. Guys, Aircraft rotation can change anytime. Tomorrow MRD will go to Kota Bharu... ....

Bing Chu 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2005 Pieter, If you drive 5-6 hours from AMS, you'll at least get to the birds at FRA. Imagine if you drive the same from BKI, you'll end up at SDK - less birds, more apes ! Alternative would be ending up at BWN if you drive >5-6 hours; anyone has had any experience spotting there ?

Sing Yew 1 Report post Posted September 17, 2005 It's been confirmed, I wasn't dreaming and wasn't fooled by my eyes, what flew past my room this morning at 6.05 am was indeed 9M-MRD. A thread has been created at Jetspotter.com at the Adelaide forum. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to catch her though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick R. 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Alternative would be ending up at BWN if you drive >5-6 hours; anyone has had any experience spotting there ? 7707[/snapback] never spotted there,but been there enough times during my stay in Brunei. All i can say is BWN (airport) pretty dull place to be.Cant really see much from the viewing gallery + aircraft movement... maybe things have changed now? well,safe to say that MRD might/will come to KCH eventually. However early warning would help. Edited September 17, 2005 by Nick R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
