Hoe Jyh 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Some pix from last saturday's wonderful spotting session Just the word to describe that day! Thai Airway's new livery just look gorgeous in that warm morning sun. With 3 B744s in the background and a tonne of B734 movements its just natural to get them together! 9M-AHF with the outsized Singapore flag on top and words in black. Despite being the first aircraft to inaugurate the SIN-KUL route in Feb, she is frustratingly hard to catch at SIN! Hibiscus cautiously making her way to the runway.... MH B744F making a very nice late rotation with the hills in the background Cleaning up her undercarriage.... Powerful takeoff with those GE90-115Bs. Hope you have enjoyed viewing the pictures!

Wow ... great catch of the An26, Victor I heard the loud rumbling noise of the big old Russian Turboprop while I was at Turn 4, Sepang F1 Circuit that day.... I knew the sound must be from some old turboprops... Switch on my scanner... heard Russian-slang voices and something like 'Burma(?)' but at the end I only got this...
