Over the Strait of Malacca..

Postby hasegawa » Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:50 pm

Penang International Airport (WMKP) - Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport, Banda Aceh, Sumatra (WITT) Indonesia

Short 3-30

A cargo flight from Malaysia via the Strait of Malacca to Banda Aceh on the island of Sumatra which is part of Indonesia. The weather was once again bad to miserable and the whole thing was a shaky affair. There may be a few pictures too many today, but I found the thunderclouds impressive. First I wanted to fly the route with a Boeing 737 but a small turbopropp without a pressurized cabin makes things more interesting because with the altitude restriction to 12. 500 ft you "don't fly over but in the weather".

The Short 3-30 ist not a nice aircraft but useful... I like it to fly such aircraft more than airliners.
