RNZAF P-3K (upgraded P-3B) Orion MPA, currently 49 years of age after rolling off Lockheed Martin assembly line in 1965 and delivered to RZNAF, 5th Squadron on 1966.08.12.

Registration No. NZ4202
Construction No. 185-5192, BuNo. 152887

Here for Exercise Bersama LIMA 2009 from 2009.10.09, 0001 Zulu to 2009.10.21, 1600 Zulu.

Thanks for the details; that means there should be more exotic birds flying in these few weeks. You are definitely well informed.

Yup, RAAF F/A-18 Hornets and F-111 Aardvarks might be deployed for the exercise too.

Side Note: Those will probably be temporary based at TUDM Butterworth AFB though. :think:

Beats having to settle your business in a metal bucket and having the entire E-2C hawkeye crew breath through their O2 masks during the period. :bsmilie:



haha, actually the e-2c does have a toilet too. but no one uses that. the crew just tahan all the way till the plane lands. only the pilot uses the pee tube.. which unfortunately. just drains the pee out of plane. hahaha :devil:

It is still possible to spot at the viewing mall of Terminal 1 otherwise you could give Changi Beach Park a try though RWY 20R and RWY 20C might be currently used for departures instead as the prevailing wind direction changes gradually from southwest to northeast during this inter-monsoon period.

The location is reachable by SBST bus service No. 9, 19, 89, 89e, alight at Changi Point Beach (Changi Beach), Carpark 5 (Bus Stop No. B95081) along Nicoll Drive.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As for Changi Business Park (CBP), specifically Changi South Ave 3 and Changi South Street 1, there is no public bus servicing the area and you will have to walk approximate 1300 meters from Expo SMRT station (CG-01).

JTC feeder bus services to CPB runs on specific timing only, their time schedule can be located here.

That will depends on which runway that you will be departing from, typically I sit towards the side with a view of the aerodrome during the take-off and climb phrase.

Correction ATR 72-500 and not ATR 75-500.

Thanks.
