ya... mariguax could be atc... but how to hold casual conversation wif pilots over radio? can meh ?[/b]

i guess some people dont know about the plane because they arent interested in that field [specialised cargo-transport i suppose] - that and the small fact that theres only one of them on the planet..

you can also hear the radio chatter using scanners and whatnot.
easy to get and easy to listen in. cannot hold a conversation with them obviously.

Hi there,
Yes, I work in the tower. We don't hold casual conversations on air, but in certain situations, there's nothing wrong with being friendly with the pilots. Aircraft on the ground, not much traffic chatter, so safety is not too much of an issue.

I meant western parallel.. the main taxiway on the western side of the aerodrome. apparently, all other taxiways were not large enough to take it. Also, just in case it got stuck and delayed other aircraft.

You guys must be really interested in this field to be plane spotting and all. For a lot of us, we'll just pick up the binoculours, have a look and that's it.... I say again, spectacular aircraft..

zoik SG

i think its only interesting as its a unique aircraft.

otherwise i dont usually bother unless i'm at some special event [checking out the latest soviet attack helos at the end of the 80s on their first visit west was cool] - or odd situations [i'm assaulting a hi-jacked 747 and a F-117 buzzes us].

be glad you guys interested in aircraft are not in Greece!! Shocked

That is without being caught with one though...

Is that taxiway Whiskey Papa?

Too bad i ORDed, if not can have a nice look at that huge monster. Still remember last year saw one huge plane (Globemaster if i not wrong) parked at the Changi cargo complex. Made the KC-135 in base look puny. Laughing
