| 2006 is a fun year for plane spotting in KLIA. Some unique or rare planes drop by at times added some surprises.
I was at the airport almost every month for plane spotting. Some might say this is crazy but I just said it is a passion for plane spotting. Looking at the photos, every plane would tell a story of it's own. I am sure 2007 will be as exciting or better ! |
