Heavy Day #2

Let's get on to Part 2.

This aircraft makes a trip once every 2 days into Penang. 2nd time for me.

 Federal Express MD-11F Reg. N619FE

I like how the two tiny landing lights pop out up front.

Here it is just before touchdown. I try not to include obstructed shots, but this, oh well Two freighters in one. The UPS 767 waiting to cross the active runway is from the previous entry. The cargo terminal is opposite the main passenger terminal. Freighters would have to taxi back parallel to the runway, then cross the runway to their lot, unless they land from Runway 22, where they can directly exit to the cargo terminal.

This AirAsia had the Skytrax Winner for Low Cost Airline stuck on their vertical stabiliser. This A320's reg. is 9M-AHO

Heavy Day #1

This trip was extremely filled with landings, with the total of 24 landings, including the Asiana 747 in the previous post. Will leave out the B734s and the A322s (for now). The sad (yet great) thing was that it was raining during the first few landings, which seriously cut down the number of views of the aircraft, and was cloudy the rest of the day, hence the darkened gloomy shots. But the great thing is, I was not ROASTED. So oh well. worked for me.

First off, (well the first was a Malaysian Airlines B737-400) is the A300-600F of DHL/Air Hong Kong. 

A300-600F Air Hong Kong/DHL 

This freighter frequently visits Penang. About once every 2 days.

Next, this is actually the first for me. A Berjaya Air ATR-72-500 (9M-TAG).

Only managed to get a few shots of this aircraft as it started to rain then.

Then there was a great treat for me. A 767 operated by UPS. I could use tonnes of words to describe it, but I'll let the photo do the talking.

UPS B767-300 N340UP

I couldn't have hoped for a better timing and lighting for the shot of this aircraft.

That's all for this part.
