Colin Parker 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 On thursday evening arriving into KUL I noticed in the lefthand side of the MH hangar a 747-300 with P&W engines. It has dark blue engines, a dark blue tail with some sort of an elongated white logo and titles in an alternate light and dark font. When I passed through on saturday morning, the hangar was empty and I could not see the plane anywhere. Does anyone know what I saw? It did not resemble anything I recognised. A Hadj charter perhaps?

Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 2, 2008 No I didn't see the said aircraft, but it can't be a hajj charter as this year all hajj flights were on SV and MH equipment, and also hajj season was finished almost 2 weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colin Parker 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Yes thats the one!!! Definately not Airbridge and definately not Air Atlanta, although I do not believe they have any 743s painted with blue engines anyway. Any contacts in MH Engineering? I would be very interested to know about this one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Faridz Mohd Yunus 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 ? Isnt that a Focus Air 742? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jani 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) I realized it wasn't a 743, but I'm more referring to the color scheme. Reading the 5th post again, I am probably wrong Edited February 3, 2008 by jani Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi C 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Was onboard SQ116 27Jan, approaching @ RW32L What I recalled is...... Saw an aircraft that resembled a B747 airframe, inside the hangar, with blank white tail & blue fuselage (KLM like).... But the most intriguing thing is even the wings and the flaps are completely painted in blue Hope someone shed some light & some pix appreciated. Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colin Parker 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2008 Definately not Focus Air. Maybe the KLM-like 747-300 is actually the 742SUD which has been stored in Jakarta for a few years? Has that become what I saw? GMG airlines is supposed to be getting 743s soon, but it was not their scheme. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
