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

One of the most interesting things to do is to head out to the end of the runway and wait for aircrafts to fly overhead. Since this is a rather small airport, most of the inbound and outbound flights are operated by small aircrafts such as the B737s and A320s.
