Today = 27 Dec?

 

Don't think there was a 744 near the time you described. I should know - I was at the perimeter fence around Rwy 25 from about 3pm to 7pm. :p

 

Line's crazy now though, so I couldn't post the results. Thinking of spotting again tomorrow evening. Anyone else thinking the same?

Ahh...line's back up again. So here's some results from yesterday. Firstly, at the perumahan (housing area):

Skies threatened to open up, so I moved...to Rwy 07. If anyone happened to see a guy in a bright yellow raincoat beside a motorbike with camera in hand yesterday, odds are it's me: :p

Then, off to Rwy 25 as the sky slowly turned a nice shade of blue. Twotter snapped from the bottom of the embankment:

First shots from the perimeter fence at Rwy 25:

Shame I couldn't get the entire bus' in the frame:

Sun was at the right angle, illuminating even the insides of the engines:

What I was really waiting for: sunset shots!

Foxtrot Yankee

And a final sunset shot before I left:

Gotta love WBGG at dusk I must say. Things just look...surreal through a camera lens:

Thanks for the comments guys. Glad you loved the shots.

 

Iggy: Sure thing bro. Just drop me a msg or something when you wanna spot. I'm trying to go on an all out spotting frenzy this final semester of mine anyway. Subject to how busy I will be of course.

 

Dr Chuo: I wasn't exactly on the runway :pardon:. I was technically just outside it! But anyway, there were some airport authorities I reckon. They came to the end of Rwy25, made a quick u-turn in their pickup truck and left. Lucky me I guess?

 

Nizam: Don't think I have your phone no. PM me?

 

Ian: Weather only started turning good at about 4pm. Before that it was intermittent rain.

 

Hmm...weather doesn't look promising today at all...

How you know only 50, Iggy ? :huh:

They have to report this to ATC when contacting the frequency ?

How I know it's 50? well it's quite usual for the ground frequency to request p.o.b and a/c rego after the a/c switch from tower to ground frequency.. and when we heard the pilots reading back the p.o.b of just 50, we shook our poor heads... <_>

so sad that normally Kinabalu Ground didn't ask for P.O.B. when contacting. :( or i missed it? <_>

In Malaysia, only KCH will ask POB after landing. However all stations will request POB before departure, normally to ground frequency.
