At 30,000 feet, without annoying ringtones, crying babies. Bliss.
Fluffy clouds
Going through bad weathers, which means turbulence which I kinda enjoy
Went out of the bad weathers and clear sky once again
I think this is near Port Dickson
KK is indeed a beautiful place, in fact I think KK is underrated. It might not be the cleanest or the most efficient or whatever, but it's the people here, the islands, the sunset here, hot chicks. Anyway, as I was saying, KK is a beautiful place with loads of hot chicks I mean with friendly people. I think it's better for me to cut the crap and just show you the pictures. (Beware : your geography knowledge will be tested kao kao.)
It all started at the airport (Of course lah, duh..)
Flying over the Terminal 2 and heading 23 deg North (runway heading)
Flying over the Tanjung Aru town, at bottom left you can see Tanjung Aru Plaza, Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Hotel at just below the wingtip
AK 5110 is a flight no. of mine which should depart from KUL at 7pm which just in time for me to capture sunset from 30,000 feet. But then, the ehem-ehem airline retimed the flight to 10.30 am which means flat out sky (photographically speaking). Anyway, I took some photos because I can't sleep onboard, you know, I have ADD.
The early bird
Speeding on the runway at the speed of 140+ knots. That was the observation hill which is only commonly known to avid plane spotters.
Right after I arrived at KLIA, the first place I visit was the Anjung Tinjau of course ! The first thing I saw at the tarmac...
The lonely boy..
Then I managed to capture my favourite aircraft, Boeing 777 which was preparing for a long haul flight to somewhere.. This photo managed to tell the story of how busy the ground crew were preparing the aircraft before it can leave the ground.
The triple 7 started the pushback.. In case you are wondering whether aircraft can go-a-stern (common joe pronounced it gos-stan) or commonly known as reverse, NO it can not. It's always being pushed by a small tow-truck.
Ready to face the world, the economy recession, the global warming, bla bla bla...
KLIA night view
Then I turned the focus knob to manual and turn everything out-of-focus, and guess what I get ?
It kinda reminds me of the gossip girl entry frame..
You know whenever you take a flight, you ALWAYS have our carry-on luggage. And when you board the plane, the first thing you do is squeezing your luggage on the overhead bin. Well, I think what I'm gonna reveal next might make the world a worse place to live.
Since the oil price is very much a burden to aviation industry and there are a lot of airlines declaring bankruptcy, they really need to squeeze every cent of profits and cutting down every penny of expenditure. Well, fret not, Lawrence is here to save the day.
I guess since pretty much EVERYONE who board the plane whether voluntarily or involuntarily will look at the overhead bin at least TWICE per flight, then why not put some advertisements on the overhead bin ?
Like this..
But if you realised, that a lot of people love the window seat, usually people will stare out of their window and look into wing, and voila, there we have another advert spot.
What a beautiful.. day
And if you realised that there are a lot of aviation enthusiasts out there, they buy expensive camera and lens and go to airport (outside the terminal) under the hot sun to capture aircrafts landing and taking off. That's why Airliners.net exist. Under this circumstances, I say the airlines company can squeeze a few more penny by transforming an aircraft into a flying billboard.
Oh wait, AirAsia already did it..
This, is the latest flying billboard in Malaysia, what's with the nose and the "Your Choice Bank" ? Obviously somebody forgot to ON the spelling checker.. haha..
By the way, I want to wish Selamat Hari Raya to all who celebrate it.. I'm gonna miss the pasar ramadhan..
As an aviation nut, I bookmarked Airliners.net and check for "cool" photos on the site everyday. This week, I drooled over some interior shots of Emirates Airlines Airbus A380. The pictures of economy class are nice, but honestly who really likes economy class ? Frankly, I was having plane-gasm when I looked at those first class suites' photos.
For those aviation illiterate, A380 is the latest and BIGGEST double decker passengers airliners. Here are the photos :
