W Goh 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 Finally went spotting at KCH after more than a year. Followed the perimeter road to the rear where runway extensions have been completed, climbed the embankment (or whatever it's called), stood near the fence that separated the runway from the unopened section and these were what I got. 25/10/08 Mike Mike Juliet Alpha Hotel Alpha moments before a dash down Rwy 25 Mike Mike Uniform, from almost the same angle as Mike Juliet Alpha Foxtrot Whiskey against some overcast skies. Was hoping the Bank Rakyat special would make an appearance, but this one's fine too. 26/10/08 Alpha Foxtrot Mike at 280mm from the fence. Man...gotta return for more after my exams I tell you.

W Goh 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2008 Nice catch Goh At the hill, police with MP5 didn't 'kacau' u ah?Hehe lol you guys had a run-in with em? The closest I came to encountering the authorities was when this pickup truck came patrolling near the fence, but they left after making a turn. I'm guessing its the airport authorities and not the cops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leong Chuo Sheng 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2008 Blast from the past shot.. while i was still so young hahaha... at least it you guys knew that an-124 came once ago http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c235/igg...024an124-01.jpg *GASP* The An-124! I know that it came when I was young as well...cos' I remember my dad taking me to the runway site after my primary school session in the evening and I saw the An-124 take-off in the "intra-Sarawak" direction, then doubled back to conduct a flypast! Then it was gone, never to return....yet. It brings back memories of the "events" that I always had when the DC-10s would fly off to Tokyo and Osaka, and the A310s of SQ bound for Singapore and the B757s and 767s of BI to BWN... My dad would park the car on the side of the road and I would stand on the edge of the grass and marvel at the aircraft taking off, especially the DC-10s which would always wait till the last moment to let down the nose gear And the rolling roar of those engines! Those were the days when KCH was a happening airport BTW Ignatius, was the photo taken in 1995/1997? Because I think the An-124 was bound for the LIMA airshow? Thanks for the photos!
