Over the Strait of Malacca..
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2020 6:50 pmPenang 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".
