Ignatius 4 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 REMINDERTomorrow 757-28A G-OOBA will arrive ex- SYD on the Captain's Choice Tour of Asia. It departs SYD at 1000LT (3hrs ahead of KCH) so I presume an arrival somewhere in the vicinity of 1400LT KCH seems reasonable.(Not quite as exciting a G-OJIB, the Iron Maiden schemed 757 due in Perth next week!)First Choice Airlines being chartered by Captain Choice Tour, it ryhmes I'll nail it , eta is around 1445, but we'll camp earlyThe B200T are maritime patrol airplanes operated by No.16 Sqn RMAF Subang..The callsign Kenchana that means its on an operational mission.I c, didn't know about that... thanks for the extended info..

Kenneth Chong WT 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) So boring yesterday, so went to airpot and did some snap snap ... nothing special, just 734 Is it me or is it really depressing...why la KCH so little international flights...just saw that BKI has travellator and a really nice terminal...KCH pula....aduh...alang-alang je...so sad.if you ask me...gate A-3 should be double in size and gate 7,8,9 should have a 1 directional travellator on the 3rd floor after immigration for departure, while another 1 directional travellator on the lower floor to ease passengers arriving from gate 8 and 9 on their way to the arrival hall. Back in the 90's...i would wait for the arrival of Dragonair, RBA and MAS DC10 to Seoul and Narita.There was even a B734 flying between KCH to Manila and onwards to Taipei.Then The KCH-KUL-Frankfurt,KCH-Perth and SYD-KCH.I was even on the SYD-KCH flight.We arrived like 3.30 in the morning.At Sydney airport, i was told that 56 pax were disembarking in KCH.The airport stayed opened for us!!Ahhh....those were the days...kesian la KCH...what can we do to entice more airlines to fly into KCH???in 2000 when SIA ceased their SIN-KCH vv, I wrote to Silkair,telling them to fly into KCH.their reply was "due to political reasons" they are unable to do so???And now they fly daily to KCH...go figure...I even wrote to HK Express and Virgin Blue,HK Express never reply, DJ said "check their website for new routes" and wish me all the best in my studies...HELP!!Im depress!Crazy kan??Thank god for RBA and Batavia and Silk or else...Kuching International Airport should change into "KUCHING SEMI-INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT".Happy for org Sabah bah...tapi....org SARAWAK dianak-tiri kan la!

Ignatius 4 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Bro, u n i same boat lah, its really sad to spot planes in kch when there's nothing new to spot... thats why we only go spot when we know something is coming in like CZ, Capt Choice Tour, Vim Airlines, and many other un-scheduled/chartered flights... wished it was on a scheduled basis, so we can always see them come every now and then.. but in kch, its a game of hide and seek with these rare international routes... Yeah.. Bki's upgrade is fair enough because they have those kind of traffic, ours??? I don't know why they upgrade it to such state with no improvement in flight traffic what more to say other airlines... Ministry of Tourism is sleeping i reckon... <_> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 before the "earth-quack", did you guys complain about BKI? <_ i think no since your place also got many international connection. how about pen and lgk> why don't thought it as "an attraction" of each airport? KCH got Batavia, and Hornbill; BKI got Dragon Air, and FAT (hope i didn't missed out other interesting traffic, from the view of spotter, and don't ask me to dream about at night got sufficient lighting to take pix). other traffics also "commonly available" on both, BKI and KCH. regarding the charter flights, isn't KCH got more pre-informed charter flight than BKI? maybe is we too lazy to look for the charter flight la. please kindly correct me if i did any mistake on my statement.

Do you go to the airport to spot planes sometimes??? We could hang out if the rare ones come to town... expect lots of CZ next week as the charter flights will return by then.. Last year i think we have Xiamen, but not sure this year we have one or not, we don't have info's from the airport.. how sad <_ we only rely on our hardworking virtual tower and from time to my own scanner src="%7B___base_url___%7D/uploads/emoticons/default_pardon.gif" alt=":pardon:"> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
