Penang Planespotting #003 - 29 May 2016 - Part 2

This edition of Planespotting #003 covers quite a few cargo craft as well as some special scheme jets. It is nice going without any expectations and to get something you've never seen.

Air HongKong A300F4-605R (B-LDF)

Got addicted to head-on shots, so you will be seeing quite a number of them in the coming posts as well.

Head on with Korean Air Cargo (HL7449)

Sriwijaya Air B737-86J (PK-CMN)

Sriwijaya now uses the Standard B738. No longer able to get the -500s, -300s and -400s. Oh look.... UPS.

UPS B767-34AF(ER) (N307UP)

Malaysia Airlines B737-8H6 (9M-MXE)

UPS crossing the runway

And here are the specials. Got 3 of them coming up.

Firefly ATR72-500 (9M-FYG)

The first one promotes Panasonic's Sky Series Air Conditioners with the nicely fitting tagline, the Future is Up. On another note, it is a rather fine way to rub it in seeing how hot the weather was.

AirAsia A320-216 (9M-AHF)

Before the next special, we have the head-on of -AHF, before -AHX came in. AHX is the one with the Connecting ASEAN livery. It was revealed during LIMA 2015. Funny how after more than a year do I see it here in Penang.

Part 3 coming up. Stay tuned.

Same place, Different views - 02 / November [Part 3]

Finally, the third and final part of this installation. 

Malaysia Airlines B737-8H6 (9M-MXE)

MAS in the new livery with the truncated Wau.

Royal Australian Air Force A330-203MRTT / KC-30A (A39-004)

This one came up after a looong time. Thought it was never going to depart. Used just enough runway to rotate at the most perfect of location. And voila. Here's the shot.

AirAsia A320 (9M-AQH)

Air Asia's 100th awesome plane. STAY STRONG AIRASIA.....

FedEx A310-324F (N811FD)

This FedEx was the last one taken near the departure area. The next few are taken just short of runway 04.

UPS B767-34AF (N359UP)

More winglet jets for me! Quite a punctual arrival from Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia Airlines B737-8H6 (9M-MXG)

Just a quick weather report. It was sunny and as hot as a frying pan. Sweating while snapping.

China Airlines Cargo B747-409F (B-18712)

And a heavy to end the day.

That's all for this session. Hope you've enjoyed it.


With all that is happening in the recent weeks, my thoughts and prayers go to those who have been affected by the QZ8501 flight.
