Rewind to 8th July 2007, when I got on a plane with good ol’ buddy\/aspiring pilot JFK<\/a>!<\/p>\n


\nI brought out the Canon Powershot A520 with Hoya R72 infrared-pass filter for the bright sun.<\/p>\n


\nI also brought out my beloved Minolta 70-210mm F4.0 beercan lens for this…<\/p>\n


\n…and the Vivitar Series 1 28-105mm F2.8-3.8 lens with a Tamron 1.4x teleconverter.<\/p>\n


\nThe object of aerial transportation – a Cessna!<\/p>\n


\nMeanwhile, I spied a private flight. This was in the old Subang airport, now known as the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.<\/p>\n


\nNope, no snakes on this plane.<\/p>\n


\nBecause the plane was tiny and you could not hear your voice or anybody else’s, you’d need to wear headphones with a mike. Also, you’d need to speak with the mike touching your lips (as it picks up vibration, not sound.)<\/p>\n


\nWe have liftoff! Shah Alam Stadium.<\/p>\n


\nShah Alam Mosque.<\/p>\n


\nFour-leaf clover.<\/p>\n


\nBlue skie… I mean, seas.<\/p>\n


\nGoing ashore for business. We hovered around Port Klang and went past a nearby island for a bit.<\/p>\n


\nThe original plan was to go to PJ, around The Curve, to check it out; however, weather conditions did not permit this.<\/p>\n


\nOh, and of course I brought my Peleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye. Pardon the inconsistent colors; the Peleng has an inconsistent coating which shows in certain conditions. Plus the glass might’ve been smudgy.<\/p>\n


\nKevin Rao, former Xfresh FM and Wow FM deejay.<\/p>\n
