Big planes and oversized trucks…

SOSAM recently had the chance to visit the Penang International Airport.

How was it? NOT as fun as I expected but quite interesting. At least it’s better than getting your hands dirty, as an addition, it’s quite informative too. Disappointing at the same time we didn’t get to go to the big control tower…:(

The best is always the last isn’t it? We had a chance to ride on one of those huge and expensive fire trucks.

TA~DA…

Fire trucks which costs them around 3 million each…even the tyres cost 15k each…wow…(how many D3x and D3s are there??)

Hey you better bet on these guys you know…they’re the ones that will keep your asses kicking when your planes catch fire…

From the smaller watch tower at the AFRS a.k.a Airport Fire Rescue System.

Woo check out those buttons…NOT as many buttons as expected…but there were four phones???

and a big red one…*like that red phone you see in Powerpuff girls, where the mayor would use to call the girls*

the firetrucks demonstrating their upper turret and bumper turret? a.k.a shooting water…

An Air Asia plane taxing, waiting for clearance to take off…

Before taking off, the pilot would communicate with the control tower and all you would hear in their conversations are things like alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf hotel bla bla bla and whole lot of alien numbers…

At 200mm focal length(above) vs 55mm focal length(below)… woo taken from same distance…

This plane just landed…

What’s a trip without a group photo. :)

Well…the next time you take a flight…remember that these are the guys that will be watching you…LOL well for safety reasons i mean…
