This British Gulf ANTONOV 12 is a regular into Dubai. Check out the tiger decal on her fuselage. Clouds blew away before she arrived. Splendid! B)

My last photo of the day...the mighty beast in all its glory..the Antonov 225 Mriya. She was here for quite a while! Over a month in total! Appologies for the trees and construction equipment...this was the best view of the aircraft.

 

HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT! :D

Great shots: hope the weather will be as nice as on these pictures early in 2006: no restriction on photography in the UAE, whatsoever ?

But at KLIA .. if we stand at the weather station . nobody bothers us . but i can only wonder why because , when we're standing at 14L . we're further away from the runway , but they dont allow it .. its strange to me about what these people are up to .. but well . they have the authority .. we just have to find our ways to hide from them or something la ...

You know...I'm sure they know that we are spotting at all these different spots...but only a few of the security officers find us disturbing, hence only some of them chase us away.

We are not disturbing them wat...for wat they want to kacau us oso...

 

In Dubai...the best spotting method is "Drive-Stop-Aim-Shoot-Drive". Nowadays..if u just stand around...u are more likely to get interrogated by the police than if u stay in ur car.

 

TK was lucky last time he came...no cops bothered us...probably too busy tending to the dead gang member 150 metres away. Remember ah TK? :mellow:

A view shots taken from my hotel (Premier Inn) opposite of T3 of DXB. I had a small gap in between T3 and new (not yet operational) T4. Really far away and so low quality but just an idea to show you some really nice candies flying into DXB.

 

The taxiway was close for excellentshots but lightpoles is some obstruction. Room 412/414 give those views.

One of the pics shown is the KU A310, I was really happy seeing this one as its really hard to get!!

That KU A310-300 is operated by the Kuwaiti Govt. I believe, hence the logo on the aft fuselage...

 

Great selection of airliners, CeeBee :drinks:
