kianhong 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Nice one Kian.. must be cold to be out there taking those secret shots.. and hand helding the cam. wow.. all the way YPJT to YPPH for this one shot.. kindda far driving hehe.. Oh well ... I was at the comfort of Obs deck and had my dinner at the airport food court. Before I left, just walk to the fence where the C-40 parked, snapped a few shots and then blah (walk away quickly). Compared to driving to KLIA from Bandar Utama on almost every other weekend when I was in KL. YPJT to YPPH is nothing lah. 25km drive on the Row Highway-Tokkin Highway took only 20mins. Great shots of Kondi's jet! I thought she uses the 757, didnt know they have a BBJ Everyone was hoping for the wingletted C-32A. Probably because this is not an official visit, just an social visit. So no budget or needs to fly the B757. Erm..btw, what time will she depart tomorrow ? She will be in Perth for only 18 hours so I guess she will depart around early noon today. Here's one more pic, look at her motorcade and entourage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So usually take me about 20-25mins to get to spotting locations. Ahh... finally. See you in September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
