GrantSmith Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I reckon this would have been way more fun than crop dusting... Not sure I'd be looking to lose my job over it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chao Lao Beach Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Cool pic but they are both so ugly designs. . And then out popped the 330 which is elegant. Some nice lines in the background though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Personally I'm a fan of the A345 and A346... Liking the A350 as well.. Looking forward to seeing her commercially viable and not plagued by similar problems as her Boeing counterpart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrantSmith Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Speaking of P51 Mustangs... I see Disney Pixar is about to release a movie entitled "Planes" Seems to be similar to the "Cars" franchise.... I haven't really gone into too much detail to make a real comparison...

Chao Lao Beach Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 It is an artist impression of the new "Low cost Terminal" in KL. It is now 90% but with no opening date yet. It is a complete fiasco, running more than twice over budget, the CEO of Air Asia claiming due to gross corruption and mass incompetence..... and this is going to make the terminal not cheap to use. It is going to be called KLIA2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 6 staff doing the check (boarding pass, passport etc) ... but only 1 security scanner ... needless to say, about 40 mins to get through. If the train runs to the current KL International Terminal, and considering that it's less then 1 kilometre away ... why is there no connection between the LCCC and the International Terminal, so that a passenger could take the train, instead of the crappy bus? Or have I got it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have I got it wrong? David - just missed you by a day, also went through the LCCT the other day. The new terminal CLB posted above will have a train connection - the current KLIA Ekspres will pass through KLIA and terminate at KLIA 2. Track work is mostly done now. They had a long term plan to replace the LCCT with the new KLIA 2 so they didn't bother with the train. I've stopped using the bus from the LCCT into KL Sentral. Much better option is the KLIA Transit ticket which gets you a nice bus between the LCCT and Salak Tinggi station (first one after KLIA as you head towards the city. Then the KLIA Transit train the rest of the way. April 2014 now the proposed opening date for KLIA2 - and looking at the terminal works seems achievable. Lets hope - can't wait until the LCCT is consigned into history.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks for that. I did do the bus/train one time and it was good ... but surprised the distance that the bus had to drive to connect with the rail line. If they better the link as you have suggested above I might overnight in KL more often. Oh, when I chose my seat to fly from OOL, I picked 14A (they omit the #13) How disappointed I was when I sat and discovered that I was the one seat forward of the Planes main egress point and I had no window, and a limited recline ... but how happy I was when the 2 other seats remained vacant and I could spread out, so to speak. Plus, for some lovely reason, the eye candy did have allocated seats near. So, what was destined to be a cramped sightless flight, turned out to be quite enjoyable ... .

GrantSmith Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm actually a fan of KLIA.. Love the biometric scanning.. Wham bam thank you ma'am.. What I don't like is the satellite terminal connectivity... This is certainly offset by the MH lounge in said terminal BUT nonetheless... KL Ekspres is certainly the way to travel, trumps any other transport into the near CBD area. I will most definitely fly MH where I can continue to enjoy these experiences. The taxi thingo from KLIA is cheaper but takes a freakin eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinglePot Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I still get a buzz out of flying into BKK. Nowhere else does it for me. don't know why. Just how it feels. Thai Jumbo 747 Queen of the Skies. Not perfect, but I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is in fact a wonderful airport most people don't know about downtown. Simpang Air Base is home to the Royal Selangor Flying Club and allows those of us with private pilots licenses the chance to land and take of and get views like this.
