[bysmichael]

the turning is very slow

♪The engines on a plane go RAWR RAWR RAWR, RAWR RAWR RAWR, RAWR RAWR RAWR, the engines on a plane go RAWR RAWR RAWR, RAWR RAWR RAWR, RAWR RAWR RAWR, all the way!♪ instead of the 'wheel on the bus' song. lol

Cool, the exact plane that brought me to thailand last year

[FrankfurtSpotting]

great sound! love it!

[sealalula]

Cool takeoff =D

[JoaoT805]

great sound indeed!

[numb3rmonkey08]

At 1:00 did he really stop mid-turn?? How about some thrust lever action on #1 please, lol. Are those RR Trents?? They sound so yummy!

[sealalula]

@numb3rmonkey08 I think those are RR Trents 700 .

[raykrislianggi]

@sealalula Nope, they're PW4000. As I remember, one of airline using the A330 with Trent 700 is Garuda Indonesia. There are others but that's the furthest I can think of :-). The Trent 700's shape is like the RB-211 on 747 and 757, while the PW4000 for A330 looks like GE CF6-80 on 747 and 767. And personally, I like the PW4000 more than Trent 700 for A330.

@numb3rmonkey08 yes, he stopped midturn - and I wonder why. But on the other hand: quite cool....i`sn`t it? :-)

[mickfs2004]

@numb3rmonkey08 Those are PW 4000

[yuv06]

@mickfs2004 I think those are RR because Thai have their own RR maintenance centre at Don Muang

[mickfs2004]

no, the newer A330's in Thai Fleet has RR's and the older A330's (HS-TED) has PW4000

[yuv06]

@mickfs2004 Thanks for the info what about the 330 stuck in France with the seat issue are they using RR?

[mickfs2004]

yes those A330's are RR Trent's 700

[yuv06]

@mickfs2004 Thanks

[EmadIV]

@mickfs2004 Wrong. PW4164 as evident by the engine sound as well as the registration.

[mickfs2004]

@EmadIV but i was refering too the A330's in France that has a seat issue with the company

[EmadIV]

@mickfs2004 Uhm seating issues won't make this A330 use RR Trents rather than the PW4000... LOL, no, but seriously... I don't know what you're referring to by A330s in France with seating issues...

[mickfs2004]

@EmadIV i was referring TG was supposed to get more new A330-343X but the Company for PTV's are making it delayed delivery to the fleet because of safety reasons

[mickfs2004]

made a mistake i was meant to say was The company for the seats

[mickfs2004]

@EmadIV but because the manufacturing company Koito Industries making delays for deliveries to Thai Airways but i do love the A330's even with PW Engines

[EmadIV]

@mickfs2004 A bit clearer. I agree, the A330 is an excellent aircraft with a very quiet cabin, but the PW engines are just slightly annoying.

[dave4shmups]

Awesome! The A330 seems to climb faster then any other commercial aircraft, other then the 757.

[EmadIV]

@dave4shmups Agree, it feels extremely powerful on takeoff as well!
