Fokker 50 Landing Gear Action

Tasty landing gear deployment and touch-down action. Thanks for the videos dcoolcrap.

Twin Otter making a go-around

Just when I thought this plane was gonna touch its grippy rubber wheels on the asphalt, it decided to take off and leave. =| THANKS, man.

I wonder if this is a practice procedure. Prior to this I think I saw this plane make a few go-arounds. Then again it could be just another plane of the same model.

Air Asia A320 making a gentle landing

That felt really smooth. Even from this perspective. <3

Dark-nosed 737 coming in for a landing in Miri airport

This is the same aircraft coming on to the apron. I wonder why it is dark-nosed.

One of the first few airplane videos show with the awesome Powershot S3. 30fps at 640x480 and awesome audio.

Ben's Boeing Back-to-KL Bash 26/02/07

No it wasnt that foggy. Just condensation on my window. Whats cool about this plane was its taxi speed. It was frighteningly fast when it zoomed across miri's tiny apron to park. Airasia personnel in the terminal even stood up and peeked to see if everything was alright. I should've taken a video. It was awesome.



Runway 02. U can even see them PAPI lights (I think thats what theyre called)


Point Of Interest





It looked better through my window. Prolly too low a resolution.



Don't worry, it's definitely not fuel seeping through the wings and corroding the wing surface.

Right?



I'm not sure why the captain decided to use spoilers on descent but he did. What are the conditions that spoilers be used? Also, when the spoiler snapped up, a horn sounded in the cabin.

Why?

Ben's Boeing Back-to-KL Bash 29/01/07

Bash as in birthday bash. Well since we're all flight enthusiasts, I'll post some photos of my trip back.

Here we see a view out of my window from seat 5A. That's Miri airport out there. I THINK. I CAN'T TELL. CAN YOU?



We have liftoff.

Notice the freakish hum during climb. Wtf IS that noise? Hopefully nothing serious.

This here is a view of Tanjung Seafood Restaurant Miri from the air




This is the tasteful meal that I had while watching a movie on my mp4 player.




Shortly after that, Captain Cantmakeoutwhathesaid introduced himself and first officer (first officer right?) Lawrence and informed us of current altitude which was 31,000 ft and crusing at an average speed of 800km/h distance to KL to be 1,600km and therefore flight time to be 2 hours. "We'll be heading for pekan and turning left towards KLIA..."

For the remainder of the flight I had to watch Rat Race on my mp4 player or stare vacantly at these two round circular objects. Boobs. Not boobs. Boobs? No. Support structures used for putting up those disabled passengers cradles or whatever the heck they're called.




Between movie lulls, I opened up the window to check on our altitude and weather. Rewarded with a sea of clouds. Yum.




During descent I again saw more of natures work of art.




We land on runway 32R (if my MSFS knowledge serves me correctly)
