It is still an international airport but is primarily a domestic, corporate and regional international airline airport. It has an ILS to RWY 15 which sometimes works, and it was the site where the B747F of Flying tigers ended up in the side of a hill from the opposite direction many years ago (ended in tears). It's actually a pretty good airport, and reasonably easy access to downtown, where the food is excellent (it's Malaysia, the food is excellent everywhere). The RMAF have some of their airlift based out of there on the west side of the airport, lots of MROs on the SW and E side of the airport. Excellent FBO there, Skypark, both sides of the airport. Old terminal had a fire years back just as we parked a visiting B747, new terminal is not bad at all, but Skypark is one of the best FBO's in SE Asia, like Wings over Asia in Seletar.
Did not expect that... you a writer? That is quite nice. I remember that wreck...and Lauda, and the Bombardier with that terrifying video... (some survived!)

So Beech was making a turn. To final? The Twitter vid shows a Stall as he turns...he didn't recover it, and a second one caught him out...imo

So much for straight in...Or...?
Thanks Captain
