Peter Kesternich 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 Hey everybody, I finally made it onto this site and into the forum here :-) I will be coming to KL in April and want to go plane spotting at Kuala Lumpur International. Thanks a lot already for all the help and advice I got from those of you who repllied to my messages on jetphotos.net. I am now wondering whether maybe some of you would be interested in joining me for a morning, afternoon or even a full day of spotting at KUL. If so - I hope to get a reply here. Or feel free to write me an email: der-franti@arcor.de I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Peter P.S. Just in case you are interested - here's a link to my pictures at jetphotos.net: http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?userid=769 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest shah4212 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm a "budak baru" here. I'm also into plane spotting but last time nearer to my house, where else, subang airport. Now need to travel to Sepang to do plane spotting. Anyway, thanks for the comprehensive tips on plane spotting at KLIA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azlan S. 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Greetings fellow MWingers. This is my suggestion. Since this issue of the authority not allowing us to utilise the designated area for spotting has been going around for so long, this is my suggestion. First: If we are to look closely at this issue, its not a matter of tresspassing anyone's interest, be it from the spotters side and even the authority. The spotter is only doing what they WANT to do best and the authority is also doing what they NEED to do best! So there is no need for warrants or letters going around here. Second: The demand of plane watching/spotting, which thanks to hobbyist and the media promoting it, has been increasing greatly in number by the day, is generating quite a popularity not just in KLIA but other airport as well. Third: The earlier planning of the KLIA has also incorporated designated areas for 'SPOTTING', not just within the context of photographers but also as a family activity, such as the so-called "oservation hill" and others. Fourth: With the latest incidences of national threats and security, obvious enough,it is of utmost importance that the airport authority to also beef up their SURVEILANCE and VIGILITY in any case of untoward incidences. Therefore, rather than letting SPOTTERS to roam around freely within the vicinity of the airport, which can cause quite a problem, like the second issue highlighted, cordon off these people to a certain area, like the third issue highlighted, and let the AUTHORITY, have more or less like a BEATBASE for better security control, like the fourth issue highlighted! This will definitely make the whole activity and place better! For example, spotters can go to Observation Hill which has a PASUKAN GERAKAN AM officer constantly manning the BEATBASE 24/7 thus ensuring that the place is firstly clean of any rubbish, then clean of any possible untoward incident, like anyone trying to carry RPG to attack any of KLIA facilities (which I think in this case is totally out of the question) and lastly as a checkpoint for those officers in their PERONDA doing their round within the perimeter road of KLIA itself! By doing so, it is not only appreciating the needs of the SPOTTERS BUT ALSO MAKING THE JOB OF THE SECURITY OFFICERS EASIER, like the first issue highlighted. Who knows, the OFFICER could be so interested about the activity that goes within the area that he might join in the FUN as well! Hope this does not fall to deaf ears! Thank you.

Junichi Suzuki 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2009 Hi,all MalaysianwWings members! It's my first post from Japan, and I'm sorry for my terrible English. Actually,I will visit KUL from 2nd to 4th,in May. If someone goes spotting on that day, please call me when you see. Maybe I will be SPOT 2 (R/W 32R/14L side) in the moring, because it's near from Pan Pacific Hotel where I stay. But in the afternoon, I will go to SPOT 8(Water Treatment Facilty) or SPOT 7(Meteorological Station). I'm looking forward to meeting Malaysian Spotter! Best regards.
