She (9M-MXA) approaching BKI Rwy 02 for the low fly past over the air field at 1;000 feets above ground. this also the first appearance of her at BKI!

descending to 1,000 feets for the low fly past. flap 5 in use if not mistaken.


after she passed my lens, i decided to change my spot to Bunga Raya for her touch down shots, but unfortunately, i reach the spot by 3 minutes late due to slow traffic over Petgas area.
The Follow Me car, which will lead the aircraft to the assigned gate.
