Melaka spotting

Recommended Posts

Saw a dark color (blue?) Boeing 737 landed at ~12pm and leave at ~12:25pm. Make a turn to the airport terminal saw the red carpet arrangement from the entrance, seems fetching some VIPs.

 

Westar 737?

Hi Mich,

 

I saw it approaching for landing from my office at 8th floor, is like >2km away so identification of rego is not possible.

 

Hi Waiping,

 

Never know Westar own 737 in its fleet. Have a look from http://www.airplane-pictures.net/image18470.html and I am quite sure it is the one. Thanks!

Just wondering what is the purpose of this activity. A320 require longer runway for take off/landing then B737? Did they do this for B737 before also? :blink:

Thought the runway was completed long time ago......

Perhaps they had to wait till they could accumulate enough fuel at MKZ for the A320's flight back to KUL-LCCT ? :p

Today's ~11:40am, the Aermacchi MB339 (M34-16) made a low-level high-speed flyby before landing. Immediately it grabs the attention from the peoples on the ground.

 

Too bad with the rainy morning.

Went in today as a regular visitor though weather as usual wasn't favorable but it did shield off the afternoon heat. Place is packed with mostly Light Turboprops on static display with a few exemptions on those from MFA and acrobatics. :drinks:
