"On a long multi city trip, 2 big donks or 4 little donks, both still do the job". Any have some humble pie to share? Chao Lao Beach is, of course, correct. The data supplied for the flight was wrong and the Aircraft said to be 4R-ALG, an A330, but the plane actually flown on that day was an Airbus A340-311, Rego # 4R-ADB I picked up on the differences initially, but left that information on the other computer, hence the mix-up. Thanks for picking up the mistake ... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 It just looks like a bog standard AirAsia Airbus a320-216 ? . Judging from the day I was at Chek Lap Kok last month, Mr. Fernandez is bog standard on the Aircraft type but paints the Malaysian ones as flying billboards. Notice the Thai registered one in bog standard Air Asia colours. Don't ask me "why". Thai AirAsia have the following liveries. "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Old Titles" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Chiang Mai University" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Truely Asean" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 New Titles" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 2012 Year of the Dragon" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Carabao" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Visit Chiang Mai" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Bodyslam" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 Skytrax World's Best" "Thai AirAsia Airbus A320-200 New Colours" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) That is one of the VIP, Saudi Royal Flight b747SP's. They have 3 of them. There are 17 SP's registered around the world out of the 45 produced. Sexy beast in my opinion. Iran Air still fly them Tehran to KL on the summer sked.

I have a vague memory of seeing those into LHR in the 1970s. An oil tanker management friend from 1990s HK mentioned he used to be on one from Sao Paolo to HK via New York but I forget the airlines involved. He mentioned putting down in Okinawa sometimes to pick up fuel. I can't ask him, as he's joined his ancestors, one of whom is credtted with sinking the Turkish fleet at Navarone. Ironically he spent much of his life in competition with Greek shipowners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Something a little different. Where was this photo taken from? And what is the name of the airport terminal which can just be seen in the rear left of the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubbkis Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The Qatari Amari flight is more varied and interesting. I was recently asked by an acquaintence if he was being offered an investment scam as he was ostensibly being invited to buy a slice of NW England football club. (Not Mr Thaksin's former favourite MCity). Other investors were cited to be the Qatari Government. I suggested he track the Amari fleet airbus that frequently lands in Jersey to see if it also lands in NW England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
