Penang Planespotting #009 - 17 September 2016 - Part 4

Here's Part 4

We really have lots of AirAsia aircraft here in Penang.

AirAsia A320-216 (9M-AJX)

9M-AJH Departing

We then have the matte looking Jetstar.

Jetstar A320-232 (9V-JSE)

Funny how our National Carrier has so few flights in and out of Penang International.

The sole MH jet departing

Malindo ATR72-600 (9M-LMG)

And here comes the (Taiwanese) Queen

Eva Air Cargo B747-45EF (B-16482)

Up next is Air Asia's 100th Awesome Plane

AirAsia A320-216 (9M-AQH)

And we have a land vehicle rolling down runway 22.

MAB Toyota Hilux (WXD 7589)

-For the fun of it-

Lion Air B737-9GP(ER) (PK-LFT)

The last widebody to arrive from Hong Kong operating KA633

Dragonair A330-342 (B-HLG)

Can you spot something out of the ordinary below?

Just as I was about to pack, one distinctive sound was heard. A helicopter from Iskandar Waterfront

Eurocopter EC-155B1 (9M-DBI)

With a sleek Mercedes standing by

And it was thanks to that I had the opportunity to get the next series of shots.

Malaysia Airlines B737-8FZ (9M-MLL)

Firefly AR72-500 (9M-FYD)

Very Very long session, but truly worth it.

Penang Planespotting #009 - 17 September 2016 - Part 2

Part 2... Woohoo

Starting off with Malindo, turning onto the runway via Taxiway Bravo.

Malindo ATR72-600 (9M-LMG)

Silkair B737-8SA (9V-MGA)

And we have surprise for the session, and A320 family with exit doors on the fore and aft of the wing. This is a daily flight to Guangzhou, but what interests me the most is that this time, they sent an A321.

Pushback

Nowadays I see more and more of Fedex's 767 than their MD11s. I guess that they are slowly phasing them out?

FedEx B767-3S2F(ER) (N109FE)

Head on with the A321. From this angle, it would look like an ordinary A320.

China Southern Airlines A321-211 (B-6685)

Saw a chopper flying in on the opposite side of the runway. Lucky enough to have it in the same frame as this ATR.

Firefly ATR72-500 (9M-FYJ)

When a chopper comes in, the camera starts snapping. The chopper approached the runway, then banked towards the taxiway for a smooth low altitude flight along Taxiway Alpha before touching down in front of the ATC tower.
