WoW !! Awesome shots Tsentsan ! :clapping: 'HANTAM' :good: Never knew that SAA sent their SP to PER before..

Btw. where did you shoot that Douglas C-54..its right wheel seems punctured ? :help:

 

 

They were auctioning off the DC3, so the few of us went in as 'interested buyers' of the DC3. :-) I understand she was sold to a fella who lived near Bunbury and the a/c was subsequently shipped there. IIRC this is the same aircraft that was at the McDonalds some time back (no wonder there were Mac drink cups inside the cockpit). :)

And I have a special guest spotting with me yesterday - Mr Quack Quack from my homeland. :pardon: This is his 'virgin' trip to the Kangaroos Land, so obviously he wanna shoot some 'Flying Kangaroos' n 'Virgins'. No problem ...

 

Wearing a red shirt to match the virgin colour, which also mean no 'blue boy' for him. :p

Later on, we were joined by local spotters - Glenn who is also a brightsider with a very powerful weapon. Lucky you Iggy! :p

 

Thanks for viewing. Cheers. :)

Quacker was thrilled to see blue sky over downunder, and he's troubled with a total of 1100pictures taken during his 3 days visit :huh:

 

over at gate number 4 spot, we snapped a few before we went to the approached area. it was deemed too hazy(if you get what i mean). and yea, duckie brought in cloudless sunny day during his entire visit! :rolleyes:

Love the wide angle shot ... :good:

 

No worry about not having 'Virgin-ia Blue' , you had blue sky the whole day! Weather turn bad after you left. Today is all overcast and hazy.

 

Yup ... another EK arrive around midnight just after the late afternoon EK 421 depart.

 

No problem dude ... :drinks: :drinks: Glad that we are able to meet up for the first time after so long. See you back in KUL.

OK what ... no heat haze what. :p

 

Any afternoon shots of runway 24 ops? Was runway 21 used for departure?

 

R21 was used for departure, but most arrival is on R24, left after 230pm as i was approached by BGC brick ppl on what i was snapping, i just told them i am spotting planes and had no intention to click on their factory/manufacturing plant what soever.. hahaha

 

I have a few sun lit shots from r24 and all were approach pics.. will upload progressively :pardon:
