Civilian Aviation

First trip of the year to the local this morning. The regulars were out in force and there were a few new (to me) arrivals.

First time that I have caught the Garuda CRJ.

I will update this thread through the year rather than open a new one each time I post something from Penang.

As usual, C&C welcome.

Thanks for looking.

Great shots as always Laurie and a Happy New year to you.

Nice shots, great to see such rare airlines, thanks for posting
Cheers Paul

Another great set Laurie.
Must be fantastic to get down to your local airfield in January have excellent light and grab a tan to boot.
Look forward to your future posts
Take care

Mike, Thanks and a happy new year to you as well.

otafox, thanks Alan. Weather was quite good last Tuesday. Been a bit 'iffy' lately.

Sharp set and like the colourful ATR-72..JB

Have not been down to the local for quite some time so had a quick look-see this morning.

All the usual players, Silkair, MAS, Air Asia Tiger, etc were around. Also arrivals by Sriwijaya and China Cargo.

Quite a long time since I was last down at the local.

Managed a couple of hours last Thursday morning and caught one unusual visitor:

Ukrainian registered Ka-32 parked near the Fire Station. Apologies for the fencing.

Exotica ! Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks for the comment.

The Kamov is a nice touch..

Thanks Radleigh.

This is the second of the type that I have seen here. The first was Russian registered.

Good selection Laurie your making me feel the change in the weather here
Take care

Thanks Alan.

Went down again yesterday and managed to catch one of the specially marked Air Asia A320s that I have been after for a while. Got back and tried to transfer the images to computer to find that the CF card was corrupt! Ran it through a data recovery programme but it seems there is nothing recoverable on there.

A few from last Tuesday (7/10/14) morning.

I thought that I had lost these because of the problem mentioned in the post above. However, I got hold of a new recovery programme that managed to salvage all the images from that day.

Weather wasn't too good as the haze is making another appearance. Vis over the past two days has been less than 2 Kms.

This aircraft I have been trying to catch for quite some while.

Good news on the card. The Air Asia special looks very nice.

Were the pics showing okay on your camera but not on yuor computer or were they invisible on both? just concerned that I might have a similar problem one day and not realise until I got home. I usually switch cards during the day if it's a long day out to avoid having everything on one card.

I got very pedantic in the USA and downloads my pics onto a USB stick a few times in the hotels as I travelled around. That gave me a back up as a safeguard (fortunately didnt need it though).

Andy, the pics were showing fine on the camera. The problem started when I put the card into the reader. Came up as corrupt and then would not even show when I re-inserted the card into the camera.

I bought a replacement CF card yesterday and that had an insert that offered a free download and subscription to a programme called RescuePro Deluxe. Tried it and it worked. The other software that I ran it through, CardRecovery, showed no recoverable files.

Second time that I have had this happen.

Glad you were able to recover the special Laurie

Thanks Alan.
