Airport PAST#9: Kuala Lumpur International Airport Subang

[@rajkumarsivadas4403]

Thanks a million...great to see all those old footages of MSA, MAS,...warm, wonderful memories - standing at the visitor’s gallery & looking thru the coin operated binoculars! That was simple air travel...back then.

[@nickco.5845]

sir..you really got a rare footage right here..tq so much for the memories

[@Starboard76]

Thanks, rare is where the real action is!

[@rozhanabdullah7863]

Nice compilation of Subang Airport. Brings back fond memories 👍

[@Starboard76]

I just wish I could have seen it personally back in those days.

[@angel_lucifer1447]

SUPER DUPER RARE HIGHLY EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE U bring back my childhood memory into LIFE

[@Starboard76]

THAT...my friend, was the goal! Glad to rekindle those cherished memories!

[@Nine.ix.9]

My God... Thank you so much for uploading this. Not even us Malaysians have this much footage of the beloved old airport! I am an aviation enthusiast as well as working in the aviation industry! Btw... Those JT8D on the 737-100 sounded so good! Glad to know you! God bless you my friend

[@Starboard76]

You are very welcome! And you are the type of aviation enthusiast in/from Malaysia I hoped to reach. I only remembered seeing MAS fly in/out of Taipei with their 707s (MSA before that) and was smitten by their livery..so a video of my memories was certainly in order! Paya Lebar will be coming early 2021. You did see my Malaysia Hibisbis 747 (2 of them here), right?

[@azlanbinismail]

My last international flight from kl subang airport was way back in 1996. That flight was to LHR onboard MAS 747-400. This footage really bring back memories of the old kl airport.

[@Photojouralist123]

My childhood dreams of Subang I landed there 1965 on Cathay Pacific Convair 880M

[@senabecool7232]

remembered this airport, never been able to fly to it, always more of a KLIA fan

[@carlvalderrama1252]

I worked in SZB in 2010 for MAS. Driving on the apron was so cool, going to different hangars.

[@tiadaid]

Never got to fly international out of the old airport. By the time I could afford it, KLIA had been operational for 14 years.

[@Starboard76]

That's true for many of us. I could have gone when I was in the Philippines but if I recall, the Airline Guides back then showed little traffic in/out KUL (compared to Hong Kong and Tokyo). But I thought the MAS scheme on 707s was the coolest thing. I imagined a ramp full of MAS 707s but in truth, that was not the case..their fleet was not really that big.

[@quinntrinh5206]

aviation for Kuala Lumpur, Malaya started from sungei besi airport but was catered for military purpose initially

[@jirehone7]

Thanks for the video. I used to be an ATC at the tower.

[@Starboard76]

Very nice, you had some great views for sure!

[@feizalibrahim9087]

Excellence footage sir, tqsm

[@Starboard76]

Thanks and welcome

Minute 7:18 till 7:34 , scene from movie "Paper Tiger". "Paper Tiger" movie shot in Malaysia (mostly KL and Melaka).

[@akanade_chi]

where you get all this footage?

[@Starboard76]

Hard hard long patient searching!

[@MalaysianAviator737-8]

How large was SZB back then?

[@Starboard76]

Looking at what the video shows vs Google Earth today, it was apparently much much smaller as far as ramp space is concerned. But some who have commented here and who flew in/out of the original facility are the best sources to verify that position.

[@AdamIrman2810Studios]

So many lost footage! Its REALLY Rare to find video footage of Old Subang Airport!

[@Starboard76]

Exactly! It was a tough job and Singapore Paya Lebar (which should be easier) is proving harder to pull off! Getting a MAS 707 was the toughest to get.

[@AdamIrman2810Studios]

Starboard76 Plus i have a link to many rare photos taken at subang during the time as an international airport in the late 90’s; plus there are images of some smaller planes at subang (particularly dash 7 and f50) taken in the 2000’s! the link to see them are here (gosh there are alot of pics): www.asianaviationphotography.com/ss000001.pl?page=search&PR=-1&TB=A&SS=subang+international+airport&ACTION=quick+search

[@Starboard76]

@@AdamIrman2810Studios ueah I saw the list but I much prefer the older MSA type jets all the new Air Asia stuff is plentiful, its the rare things that command more attention.

[@AdamIrman2810Studios]

Starboard76 yeah and also I’m trying to recreate the whole airport scenery with combining the current satellite view of the airport with the original imagery of the Terminal 1 (the terminal with atc tower in this video, now demolished) from 1998 Plus the sceneries of Subang are shown to be poorly recreated in XPLANE10/11 and Infinite Flight

[@Starboard76]

AdamIrman2810 Studios that’s great! I look forward to seeing your final project!

[@mohdharis4471]

Been over there in 1995.

Excellent video. Ive been looking around for videos of old Subang International Airport for a while now. Great to see the DC8 of TG and JL. Also SQ's B727, MSA & Biman's B707 and BA's qieen of the skies, the B747-200. Please post more such videos.

[@Starboard76]

Haha, thanks! I’ve wanted one for years and it took years to gather the necessary clips to make a decent presentation.

[@Starboard76]

Don't worry, I intend to remake every major Asian airport that played an important role in the age of the 707 and DC-8s!

[@szesyn]

@@Starboard76 And my personal favourite aircraft, the Fokker Friendship F27 which MSA and MAS flew too :D

5:15. What this a hijacking or terrorist event?

[@Starboard76]

It appears to be, I can't say fr certain.

[@fawwazbmn]

Yup2, a hijacking incident. Something to do with Japan Airlines and the Japanese Red Army. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWeVg3SMmaeilaM

[@tiadaid]

It was a hostage crisis involving several countries' embassy officials. The plane was a charter by the Japanese government which flew the Japanese Red Army hijackers, and several JRA prisoners they asked the Japanese government to release, to Libya, together with two Malaysian officials who were exchanged with the hostages to ensure safety. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_AIA_building_hostage_crisis
