Roadsite beside the runway that goes uphill slightly and you have some clear view above the fence. If not mistaken the road is known as Jalan Batu Berendam.

Previously under KLM UK as G-UKTF and KLM Cityhopper as PH-LXK before it was given to Sky Aviation. It's rather rare to see the Fokker 50 in Malaysia nowadays.

MMLim 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Jahur, you meant roughly opposite the Hotel 906 right? It is one of my favourite spot for MKZ but it is beside a busy road, thus extra caution needed. Have to shoot the Dutch Lady more not. I get the info Sky Aviation will replace them with 737s in near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michgyver 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2012 MALACCA: Strong winds and high waves caused a lightweight composite-based Wing-in-Ground (WIG) marine craft to be damaged while it was being tested in the Straits of Malacca, near the Sungai Melaka estuary. The marine craft’s left wing was damaged when it was hit by strong waves. Pic by Rasul Azli Samad 1 / 1 The marine craft, owned by Singapore's Wigetworks Pte Ltd, better known as an "Airfish 8", was undergoing some tests when the incident occurred about 3pm. Wigetworks general manager Kenneth Tan said: "We were testing the marine craft when it was hit by high waves, causing some cracks on its left wing. There were only two people on board, a pilot and co-pilot and they were not injured. "We did not want to damage the vessel further, so we towed it into the marina for repairs." Airfish 8 is designed to provide a fast, safe, comfortable and efficient form of transport for passenger and light cargo over the sea. WIG crafts fly between 2m and 6m above sea level and is used in the tourism and oil and gas industries, for island-hopping and also by marine enforcement agencies. Despite having wings, the Airfish 8 is classified as a ship and can attain a top speed of 100 knots. Able to travel up to 500km without refuelling, it can transport people from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur in about 21/2 hours. Airfish 8 also chartered a new milestone in the country's aviation industry when local composite aircraft manufacturer CTRM Aviation Sdn Bhd inked a partnership with Wigetworks to manufacture the Airfish 8.

michgyver 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2012 Pembatalan penerbangan Melaka Air: Kerajaan Negeri perlu beri penjelasan M JEFFRI RAZALI 13 September 2012 BATU BERENDAM - Kerajaan Negeri perlu memberi penjelasan berhubung pembatalan penerbangan saat akhir Melaka Air dari Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Melaka (LTAM) ke Pulau Pinang, semalam. Sambil mempersoalkan sama ada ia ada kaitan dengan kerugian dialami syarikat berkenaan, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) Ayer Keroh, Khoo Poay Tiong berkata, pembatalan itu amat memalukan kerana ada sebahagian penumpang terpaksa menunggu lama di LTAM disebabkan tidak dimaklumkan mengenai pembatalan itu. Menurutnya, Kerajaan Negeri perlu tampil memberikan penjelasan sama ada pembatalan itu tidak dijangka atau sama ada ia berpunca dari kurangnya sambutan daripada orang ramai. “Daripada jawapan yang pernah saya terima, Melaka Air dikatakan berjaya mengutip hampir RM1 juta sehingga 30 Jun lalu, sedangkan memerlukan dalam RM1.82 juta untuk menyewa pesawat berkenaan dari Firefly. “Sebab itulah Kerajaan Negeri perlu memberi penjelasan sama ada pembatalan penerbangan hari ini (semalam) ada kaitannya dengan ini, sehingga memaksa pemilik pesawat enggan meneruskan kerjasama,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian, di sini semalam. Sementara itu, jurucakap Melaka Air ketika dihubungi Sinar Harian berkata, pembatalan penerbangan Melaka-Pulau Pinang semalam, tidak dapat dielakkan memandangkan kontrak antara syarikat berkenaan dengan pemilik pesawat telah tamat, kelmarin. Menurutnya, memandangkan hampir kesemua pegawai kanan syarikat berada di Rom, Itali, bersama rombongan rasmi Kerajaan Negeri, tiada tindakan dapat diambil syarikat. Difahamkan, pihak syarikat kini dalam proses berbincang semula mengenai kontrak berkenaan bagi membolehkan penerbangan disambung semula Jumaat ini. Melaka Air membuat tiga penerbangan mingguan dari LTAM ke Pulau Pinang semenjak sektor itu dimulakan awal tahun ini. if this is how they do business, i reckon no one would take their flight in future.

This is the funny part. Wasn't it that someone played the fiddle while Rome burnt, many many years ago ? Now Malaysians are ...... in Rome whilst Melaka Air crumbles Nope, the really funny part is no one realized, or did not think it critical, that the 'kontrak' with FireFly was coming up to expiry, and went off to Europe instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
