fablee 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Dear friends, Have a question for you. When I was at PEN Bayan Lepas airport way back in 2002, the restricted area had wonderful photog friendly glass beside the boarding gates where one could take a picture like this Does the photog friendly glass next to the boarding gates still remain? Or has it like SIN been replaced by nightmarish tinted/photog unfriendly glass? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fablee 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Is it just me or is that photo very unfriendly? You noticed. Sorry for the quality. That was my last holiday with a film camera. The glass was plain and much better than those at Changi transit that give greenish tint but when I had the roll of film developed, this was the result together with another shot of someone parasailing from hotel balcony. After this fiasco, I went digital. Edited May 25, 2008 by fablee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. Hi Fabian, how are you? Some of the glass panels here have tinted films pasted on them, and some don't. Hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaut pixes you have been posting from PEN. Great proximity to that Gurney Drive char kway teow. Thanks for info abt glass. So I guess it is a matter of the target a/c being at the right gate. I understand from mw that the viewing gallery has gone too. Hope to see more of your PEN shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) I was having (late) lunch at Sg Nibong Astaka (near the Pesta site) when I noticed a plane coming from north heading for Rw04 landing. It was 3pm and the plane has 4 engines.... hmmm... CI delayed? Back to office, checked the Flightstat.com (sorry, PEN so lousy that it does not even have a website, let alone the Arrival & Departure info) and it showed CI is delayed 44 minutes and the equipment of the day was A343!!! Excited. I went to my office top floor, waiting for the delayed departure in the conference room (boss wasn't in, that's why ). Since nobody ever captured CI's A343, with the company's P&S camera, I got this... (but it was cloudy today) Departed at 3.57pm, 30mins delayed (captured at 4.06pm, the camera's time) Pardon me for the lack in detail of the pics.... the camera only has 3x zoom My uncle & grandma's CI 674 is delayed from 1455 till 1755 then till 1855 today... They're still at home now... Have the delays been related to their 737NG problems in the past, as we see that CI's using their A340 here? Does anyone know if it's A340 as well today? Hehe...

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted May 31, 2008 Friday 30 May 2008 Interesting to see C(ila)KA @ PEN on the 30th, Bob She made an additional landing at CTU on 29/05 to deliver 1900 tents, on her way to KIX... Apparently, she flew KIX-AMS, before returning back to Asia and make a stop at PEN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
