2014.02.22 Spotting Session Part 2

Let's carry on to the second part of this spotting session. Allow me to continue with the main catch of the day. Presenting, SilkAir's VERY FIRST B737-800 in 25-years anniversary scheme. The will be getting more of these types to replace their Airbus A320s and A319s.

9V-MGA

Wanted to get Silkair's departure at the industrial zone. Unfortunately during my drive to that location, I missed Garuda's CRK coming in.

Anyway, here's MAS's 734 going up.

B737-4H6 (9M-MML)

Then this Eva Air Cargo came along. It has been delayed for a long time as this aircraft is usually scheduled to depart at about 10am.

Eva Air Cargo B747-45E(F) - B-16401

SilkAir B737-8SA (9V-MGA) departing

Just as I was about to end my planespotting session, another aircraft came in. Just FYI.

Firefly ATR72-500 (9M-FYI)

That's all for now. Stay tuned for the next instalment which will be my visit to the Singapore Airshow 2014

There I shall cover the highlights of the event such as the aerobatic displays as well as the static aircraft displays *Not to mention the incredibly long queues to everything including the shuttle bus

Stay Tuned....

Continuing on to part 2

Blasting into Penang is this three holer. Presenting FedEx's MD-11F

Took my eyes out of the viewfinder when it flew overhead. And BOY IT WAS HUGE. You can see nothing else but the belly of this freighter.

AirAsia's A320 (9M-AFS) being cradled by crosswinds

Firefly's ATR72-500 (9M-FYG) trying to fight off the crosswind. It had an incredibly smooth landing though.

The wind was great and it was a cooling session. Though I doubt the pilots of the next plane enjoyed it.

Another FedEx, this time in the form of the A306F

The A306 above was aligned right in front of me. But I was towards the left of the runway. Flew past me and touched down just slightly left of the centre line.

More to come. Stay tuned.
