kianhong 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Super fine sunny day. Couldn't resist though it's already late in the afternoon. First up, the shinny 'porn star'. Missed the BI baby bus. Saw it landing on rwy 03 while I was driving to the rwy 21 spot. EK always look good in the sunset light. Sun was setting when QF 597 from Brisbane landed. Spotting still going strong even though no light. QF 737-800 in new scheme! :yahoo: First time catching Network F100 flying, looks good! Bling-bling... Finally, the late bird I was waiting for. VH-TGG was late for 1hr 40mins. [iSO 1600] Thanks for viewing. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kianhong 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Thanks Simon & Pieter! Weather looks real nice for some photo-shoots there: no 717's passing your lens ? Not from yesterday evening shots. I believe I heard one or two 717 landed on the shorter rwy 06 ealier. But here's one from the sunny 26 May - VH-NXN with the updated skippy. And here's one beautiful 'Dutch lady' bathed under the warm glow of sunset. Shhhh... Whats that 'noise'? ehehehee... Maybe I need to get a brighter weapon like 5D. Enjoy!

kianhong 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks CB and Pieter for the comments. Must visit PER one of these days...... Hehehe... no better time than now to plan a trip down to Perth via AirAsia X. Sharing a few photos of some the amazing visitors n residents of YPPH on yet another fine sunny afternoon. Accompanied me is YPPH's Taiko - Liam. Dutch Lady had her butt split open. Opss... Can't help it, Pieter. A surprise catch - a relative new Bombardier Challenger 850. OLD SCHOOL MD-82 !!! Probably here to visit its close cousin B717. Mineralogy - sound like something you need to learn & pass in order to fly this plane. Finally, Royal Brunei baby bus - A319 . Cute! Enjoy! And thanks for viewing.

Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) Well at least they have drop down screen, for my 2H40M flight to HKG, they featured a movie...better than MAS...i.e BKI-HKG/CAN, nothing to do at all...keeping my fingers cross, hopefully MAS' B738 comes with IFE!

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Was certainly a productive 90mins we had, Kian! On June 1st, BI moved from 4x weekly 763 services, to what originally was a daily 763 service, however the week prior this was changed to daily A320 (this is a long hop for an A320, similar to TR's 11 weekly flights from Singapore - 4083km vs 3895km). Obviously with just 2 A320's in the fleet, it is expected we'll see the odd A319 on the route, an aircraft which actually copes better as it has longer legs. JQ are touting a PER-KUL A320 service in the future when they fully establish an asian hub in Perth (4124km). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 BI flies into PER with their 319?? Godness,thats far! How many hours can that baby fly? QR is operating A319's to TXL, a 6 hours 25 mins flight So.....they can operate pretty long trips; LH is using them North-Atlantic, although with reduced seating-capacity...
