S V Choong 4 Report post Posted May 8, 2013 Finally there is a thread for TWU! I should put some of my pics up, but they are all too ordinary and routine though! That BI A320 bird, is that a charter flight too? The C-17 bird must be the biggest aircraft to have landed in TWU since the opening of the new airport. Never seen TWU so busy with so many "big birds" (B737s and A320) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted May 10, 2013 Tawau (TWU/WBKW) 02/03/13 V8-RBU A320-232 Royal Brunei RBA1821 ATU-DB-501 CN-235-110M RBAirF - grey c/s 20/03/13 1225 C-17A UAEAF UAF1224 The BI was a special "rescue" flight to bring back a group of university students from Brunei on a study trip to east Sabah. I think two from the group drowned, and I believe the bodies were transported by the CN-235 whilst the rest travelled on the 320. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
