Andrew Hunt 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2008 Hi MWings, Just came back to Singapore from a 1 1/2 day photography to your wonderful KLIA. Didn't see too many of you, but of course met up with Big Jon....cheers for lunch and I will return the compliment when you make it to Singapore! Also a hello to WT and Imran, whom I met for the first time and displayed the usual MWings friendliness! Wasn't sure where to post these photos as I could not find a thread for AM 14L arrivals, so I thought I would create one. Apologies if I was wrong! I spent the Saturday morning the Lakeside (aka "The Pond") and the weather started out nicely......some wonderful buildup gave me a stunning background to work with....and nice sun! My highlight was the MK A332, which was my first time seeing this lovely machine! There were a nice host of arrivals during the whole morning (MH B737s and Air Asia A320s are GOOD for me!) and I devoured all of them. Especially enjoyed the Qatar A333 still in Asian Games c/s, yummy! After that I went to 14R for afternoon rotation.....I will post pictures from that session in the other thread. Got some nice things.....go have a look! This morning (Sunday) I woke up nice and early and was a bit dismayed to see a lot of cloud cover whilst driving to the airport. Postive thinking prevailed and sure enough 10 minutes after I pitched up at the lake....the sun broke through! Didn't know what to expect and then I saw an interesting B747 on finals.....couldn't make it out until it was virtually side on...GMG Airlines!!!!!! Was very very happy to catch this one At this point Jon and I were SMSing frantically with all of the meet up arrangements and I was keeping him informed of what was coming in. Then, another interesting B747 on approach. I couldn't quite make it out, and then it clicked.. Iran Air B747SP!!! On my goodness, this was a dream for me and I must say the highlight of my trip. Best of all, Jon told me later, it was EP-IAA which apparently has just been returned to operational service. Carrying some nice stickers as well! It was a pity that no-one was there to share my joy, but at least I can post them here to let you see them. Wanted to get these up first, will post more of the session later. Now time to process some more pics and put them on the 14R thread! Enjoy! Andrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maarof Kassim 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2008 Sorry for being late. Last Sunday 13th July I intended to photograph the derailed goods train near Kuala Sawah, Rantau, Seremban. But I was refused entry by the KTM Police. So I went to KLIA instead. First shot, Carlolux. Reminds me of the Beatles White Album. My first Williams Also my first large fonted AK Long time no see Yemenia Also long time no Ladang spotting. After this Eva I felt really scared. Then I went to Weather Station to join Jon Kong and Norman. But had to leave early due to the rain. Bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
