Mohd Idham 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Waa, fantastic to see this bird there.. She flew quite a lot of cycle recently.. Anybody knew anything about CN-235 emergency landing at SZB today.. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 Cheers mate. She arrived in PER last night at 2015 as "Romeo Mike Foxtrot 660" from SZB. Hmm, have to look into that, if they're here for 2 weeks, she must be coming back, as she's departing as the same tonight at 2100 (0245 arrival at SZB).

Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) Liam, is that every type of aircraft come wit different cover to cover the engine? from ur picture the cover only use to cover the turbine of the engine and the 'cone' of the engine. another question, why the aircraft will tight with a few red ribbon on the small small 'antenna??' which under the cockpit window? will they remove it before the flight? thanks in advance...

Radzi 2 Report post Posted June 29, 2006 ...... another question, why the aircraft will tight with a few red ribbon on the small small 'antenna??' which under the cockpit window? will they remove it before the flight? thanks in advance... That small ribbons are actually covers for the pitot and static ports. It is extremely important to have it removed before flight, or else you won't have airspeed and altitude readout.

Chaity 1 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Liam, thanks for the fast coverage and the close up view of that bird. The sky in those photos look puffy. Can make comfortable pillows. I like the last shot with the winglet too. Good job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raj 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) Nice Catch Liam.. a Ques: Do u guys think that maybe RMAF should get a bigger aircraft for the PM and Other VIP's to Fly in..Compare with brunei..Sultan of Brunei got a Variety and all big Planes..Maybe RMAF should get sumthing bigger than the 737.. What do u think? Edited June 30, 2006 by Raj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do u think? NO! If they want a bigger plane, then they can pay for a seat on MAS and fly 777 or 747! RMAF 737BBJ is already big enough! Look at the Aussie PM, he uses a BBJ too and that suits him just dandy! Brunei is a little exhorbitant, but he can afford to be, right! Besides, nothing wrong with the BBJ anyway, its classy and cool and compliments the beautiful Bombardier Global Express very nicely It would be nice to see Badawi use that aircraft more often though Liam, very nice coverage mate! I bet that ASIC is realllly paying off now huh! hehehe great shots! send me lahhh for my desktop! Edited June 30, 2006 by Sandeep G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teoh Z Yao 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 What is the fundamental difference between a BBJ and a nonBBJ NG 737? Beautiful 737 there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted June 30, 2006 What is the fundamental difference between a BBJ and a nonBBJ NG 737? Beautiful 737 there! BBJ has a nicer interior I think there are also a few modifications to the wing structure and the fuel tanks are slightly larger (given that the aircraft is meant for VIP ops and no RPT.. so payload restrictions are non-existant. Liam, the first and last pic mate, send em to me in 1024 x 768 cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
