Waiping 12 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Was mislead by Flightstats.com that Tiger Airways would show up at 11:30am. So went to Jalan Bunga Raya near the new tower to try and catch Tiger Show. Of course it didn't show up so here are some shots during that high-noon spotting. What's left of the old control tower. 9M-AFZ 9M-MME C-GOHC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoong 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Sorry guys, I did not bring my camera (those cheap camera) with me or else I get the shot for all of you. I manage to see Jestar approching runway from KKIA T1 (in front of Golden Lounge) and looking at the VIPs arriving (level 2) by Jestar, view from level 3 (same level as Golden Lounge) watching them. Andi, you should bring me along with you or you should let me use your heavy camera. hehehehe I am glad they did not shot you or else....I'm gonna miss you. hahahaha. for Andi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Waiping, Could it be you snapped Steve flying the S-92 there ?! Don't know woh, but the B737 pilot looks happy enough. Anyway, afternoon was all about catching the inaugural 3K flight from SIN-city. I took a gamble and headed towards the RSTC clubhouse instead of 3rd beach because there was another B777 expected at the same time. Normally wide-bodies would request runway 20 and that would set up the shot nicely. But alas, forgot I haven't been winning whenever I gamble lately. MH51 arriving from KIX At 15:43.51 flight 3K-525 touchdown. Welcome to BKI, 9V-JSB After that Louis and I headed for beach 3 to catch the take-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) The weather was slowly starting to get ugly. During the landing it was really hot. I remember I almost burnt my feet when standing on the roof of my car. Then as we walk toward the end of the runway storm cloud started to gather around the airport. 9M-MWA 9M-MMI 9M-MKF landing under heavy crosswind. 9M-AHI. This guys probably curse like mad since the A330 took a long time to clear runway. At about 4:20 it started to drizzle so we thought maybe we should move, since we didn't bring umbrella. Managed to reach my car 30% soaked wet, partially from rain and partially from sea water. Oh, ya, got severe crosswind also. By the time we reach our cars and drove out the storm subsided. I thought, hey this is like we are in the eye of the storm where everything just quiet down before the big one comes. Anyway, we wait not for the storm, but for the Jetstar to depart. At 16:54 9V-JSB took off back to SIN-city as 3K-526 After that went back and wash my car. Edited December 3, 2008 by waiping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi C 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2008 Lovely shots there Waiping... well done! (I think next time I'll shoot A2 tarmac actions from level 2 of MAS Admin office) I've also discovered an excellent place to spot 02 take-offs & 20 landings.... on the top level car park of Plaza Tg Aru Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desmond C 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Wow, jetstar in bki. Btw, thannks for the new spotting location Andi. The highest level of the car park is taller than those tree isn't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC Tam 2 Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Wow - look in the background - old part of BKI T1 reduced to her skeletal remnants ! Can't help but speculate it may be more efficient and/or cheaper to demolish everything and rebuild from the ground up 'Lou Lee' Is that the portion you said Sabah state govt is forking out the RM for ?

I'll give it try maybe next week. hopefully can get a clearer view of flight coming in from Sutera Harbor. At RSTC there it was obstructed by big trees and you have maybe seconds to react. thanks for the afford, Waiping and Louis... love them very much... Waiping, is that Iggy poison you too much? hehe... seems like BKI weather also very sucks lately. Hit and miss loh. Maybe when you are back we can try some other locations. Anyway, opposite T1 is still the best. Just need umbrella only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan Soh 3 Report post Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) I will be arriving in BKI next Thursday (11 Dec on MH638). I will be glad for tips on how to drive to the runway's edge to capture these wonderful shots I have seen on this forum so far. After all... this is one of the MAIN reasons why I am making this trip to Kota Kinabalu! PRAY PRAY PRAY the monsoon will be kind to me...

Sorry I myself also can't remember but definitely the one on the right is not me. Anyway, was on duty for PC fair today so drop by Jalan Bunga Raya to do some spotting. Arrived slightly late as the ATR just pass by before I could get my camera. But believe me, I got a rare today. Before that, it's been awhile since I saw a Fokker 50.
