Normal Service Resumes

Yup. And that means more spotting pics, but this time with a twist. Haven't gone to the airport to spot for more than four months because of my taxing schedule, so I had to improvise. Well, that and I should be kicking myself for not going to the airport on August 30th to catch the F-18Ds in action. Anyways, introducing the 'Aircraft from a Distance' series:

To start things off: RSAF F-16s. Taken from my bro's place at NTU, Singapore.

Closeup of the same pic. There's no disputing - they're indeed F-16s.


From Putrajaya on a university trip:
MH's Airbus A330 dashes into the clouds

After some enhancements in Photoshop

AirAsia's B737-300 heads home to some bad weather.

Closeup from the same pic.

MH's B737-400 follows suit

Closeup

An airliner I can't identify. Not sure of it's airline or type. Could it be a triple 7?

Closeup

Two planes in one shot

The first one on the right: can't really make out the type, but it certainly has 4 engines. An A340-600? A B747 seems more likely though.

No disputing this one though. One of AirAsia's A320s from its growing fleet.


From home:
An MH 734 flying overhead, probably at flight level.

Closeup

Workhorse of the TUDM and Army - the S-61 Nuri.

Inflight on the way back to Sarawak, 10th July 2006:
AirAsia's B733 seen from my flight on one of MH's A330s. The captain came on and told us we were holding in a circling pattern 60 miles outside of Kuala Lumpur due to busy single runway ops at KLIA.

Closeup. It's AirAsia alright!

The money shot - Japan Airlines' 744 at flight level over the South China Sea.

This blowup clearly shows it's a B747-400 with it's 4 engines and winglets.

Another shot...

...and a blowup which reveals clearly the airline it flies for.


From my rented home outside Unimas:
Fokker 50, caught ironically on it's last day of operation under MH. All are under FlyAsianXpress now.

Closeup, with PS enhancements

Just caught today: one of PDRM's Alouette choppers

Closeup

And that wraps up the collection...so far. Be assured there will be a part two sometime soon. Folks with a phobia of flying machines beware!
