Ryan Soh 3 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Dear MW-ers, after looking at ALL the fantastic photos on this thread, it became one of my reasons to make a trip to KK to sniff out the spotting locations. Google Map was of GREAT help to look for these roads although my fingers were very much crossed hoping they were still valid... Seeing how my hotel at WARISAN SQUARE was still a plot of empty land, and that 1BORNEO was still forest. So here we go. JALAN CEMPAKA I made my way to Jalan Cempaka first. Lots of construction at the edge as I think there are building more taxiways and the refurbishment of the old airport terminal. KA A320 from HKG. This was what greeted me as soon as I drove in. I almost drive the car into the longkang at the excitement of seeing a taxiing aircraft so close by! The sights continued with an MI A319 from where else but SIN. I had the intention of flying to Lahad Datu on M-Wings just for the heck of it but somehow I was so occupied in KK I never got around to it. More M-Wings. It was pure delight to finally see this airline in its flesh. The livery is pure and simple, really pleasing to the eyes. I flew in on 9M-MQC the day before and here we meet again. The FO was really friendly and he gave a wave... One of us, perhaps? The highlight of my afternoon, the 777-200. The heat haze was a nuisance though... It gave a roar to the LCCT AK terminal before snobbishly turning away. Here it is again, I can almost touch the wingtips. Returned on another evening to find the lighting conditions not too ideal. Managed to catch this stranger. I think the MH 737 was also curious... I was standing over the drain for the longest time... so engrossed by the sights that I didn't even realised what was beneathed me... YIKES! TANJUNG ARU Ok, here was another area I tried out but depending on the time of the day, I much preferred the other location. Nevertheless, here are my captured shots... I sneaked past the fence otherwise there were too many obstructions. More MH 737s... I was honestly wishing there was more variety at this point. Hahahaha. And there she goes... there she goes again... MY RIDES So how did I get to these places? I don't think public transportation would have brought me there so... ... I did a Perodua Myvi! Excellent car to drive although the interior was too plasticky for my liking. How can a visit to Malaysia be complete without driving the Saga? I loved the sound of the engine, lots of grunt and sounded eager to please. But performance was left much to be desired and seemed a tad underpowered with all that grunt. Also the balance of the car wasn't all that good. FINALLY... BC TAM... Thank you for the ngau chap. I will be back in KK before you know it.

Steve 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Waiping, Could it be you snapped Steve flying the S-92 there ?! That's my bird, thanks for the picture Waiping. Unfortunately it wasn't me flying it that day, instead I was busy trying not to be drowned . I was doing my HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Trainer) training - which basically means I was strapped inside a tube that is then submerged and turned upside down, then I have to get out through a tiny window. If I succeed I get to do it three more times. Anybody want to take my place for the next one?? I was flying sistership C-GOHA in BKI today. I hope I didn't make too much noise!

One prominent chap comes to mind ..... sunscreen (SPF with 4 digits) ..... 4 digit SPF factor - sounds more like a photographic darkroom than a sunscreen Ryan, Nice see the "Hah-Lau" incident at Jln Cempaka (more commonly referred to as Jln Bunga Raya here for some reason) proved no deterrant whatsoever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
