The online application form is over here (linked to CAAS --> eServices --> Filming & Photography), and unless you have some "strings to pull", you'll most likely get your application rejected.Well, CAAS has a permit on taking shots at such locations right? I've asked a few CAAS officers before, they said there is but they don't know how to apply for it. They simply tell me go find the relevant authorities. Mmm, changi business park? Like where .. the field behind Singapore Expo?
Cowz.
PS. Let me figure out how to post pictures here, then i'll show a few shots of planes i took.
wow, you know all the call-sign lingo and the runway designation.
btw, what does SASCO stand for? is it singapore airport services company? is it like SATS?

Changi business park (to be more specified, that'll be Changi South Ave 3 or Changi South Street 1) is about a 10 - 15 minutes walk away from expo MRT station, shuttle buses operates on weekdays only. Weekends can get really quiet, and it's where you might find couples driving there for some hanky-panky after sunset.
The last i checked a month ago, 9V-SMU is in operational service and the aircraft is still registered with CAAS as of 31 March 2009. All remaining B747-412 are due to be retired by 2010 (AFAIK), "grab" them while you still can. BTW, thanks for sharing the photos.
9V-SMU, the 1000th Boeing 747 taken before the 744 was withdrawn from SIN-LHR, I don't think she's in service with SQ anymore
Just Asking... is there a special programme to check what registration the plane is when it is coming to singapore? flightstats and other programmes don't sem to have it.

Edit: 9V-SMU (as flight no. SQ25) will be arriving at Singapore (WSSS) tomorrow morning at 0635 hours from New York (KJFK) via Frankfurt (EDDF).
There're actually a couple of websites that might have either a database or a real-time update of flight imformations (including flight plans), but normally these applies for flights in and out of the contiguous U.S of A.Just Asking... is there a special programme to check what registration the plane is when it is coming to singapore? flightstats and other programmes don't sem to have it.
:cry: On a side note, the american space shuttle fleet is also dued to be retired by 2010. There're only 5 more STS missions left officially, Atlantis (OV-104) will be lifting off from the Kennedy Space Center (LC-39A) on the 12th of May 2009 for the final servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This will also be the second last mission for Atlantis (OV-104).Mmm,
SIA is left with 10 B744s. Most recent plane taken out of service is the sister of the crashed 9V-SPK (SQ 006), 9V-SPL. Of which both planes once carried the tropical Megatop livery. But, i'm quite certain these 3 B744s would be the last to go. -MU, -PP, -PQ. Of which these 3 planes are the only ones that had a repaint. Kinda sad to see them go, but all good things have to come to an end yea?
