Thanks Pieter. PH-KZO just came by and left Penang today. No chance to catch it though.

 

Azahan, you've got very nice colours of the sea. You used a tripod for your window video shoot? What I like about that turn South is that you get a glimpse of the fishing village next to the ship maintenance dock, something we islanders are sometimes oblivious to.

 

 

Other aircraft spotted while waiting for the Fokker.

I like the open concept of the airport.

ATRs are very active here.

 

 

SS bro,

 

Video was handheld. Had to be rock steady. Quite bumpy during take off roll. Hehe. Beautiful sight it was.

Hot weather - make sure you protect yourself against the sun and have lots of water supply!

Virgin Australian Regional Airlines (still in Skywest colours) F100 VH-FNT currently in PEN

 

Arrr... missed that one. It had departed Penang by the time I checked.

 

 

2 Chinooks departed from PEN this afternoon. Looks like they were headed North.

Thanks Azahan.

 

Had a chance to go spotting today. Looks like some repairs are being done to the Taxiway Alpha. All narrowbodies had to land on 04, and backtrack along the main runway before turning to the Apron. Widebodies would have to come in on 22 so that they can turn in directly either to the cargo terminal or passenger terminal. Quite a good thing. Those wanting to have some "heavies" action, now would be the time. Will pose those shots in a few days.

 

Here is the continuation to the evening spotting session.

16 April 2016

 

Saw recently that FedEx's MD-11 and other widebodies landed from the North via Runway 22. This prompted me to go and catch some action. Rarely do we get such traffic landing from 22.

 

Firstly, here is more or less what the view was the entire trip.

Large aircraft had to use Runway 22. So you get to see the touchdown right in front of you.

This one was kind enough to stop by again. From Slovakia, headed towards Perth. Blasted out of Penang airport loud and fast.

SSLee, good selection of photos there.

 

I have not been to the airport very much at all lately. However, spotted an unusual A340 on FR24 approaching Penang this lunchtime so I went and had a look.

 

Brunei A342, V8-001, parked in front of the tower.
