The missing Kiran's would appear to be..... U2478, U2510, U2464, U2520

 

The A.109M's are M81-09, M81-11 of 881 Skn

 

Sorry I can't be much help with the Red Arrows ( didn't take a lot of notice as they are based 5 minutes from my house). However, checking photo's I can add to your list..... XX260, XX264, XX294

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for re-posting your photo's Fitri

 

Have to agree with TK................ those F-5 photo's are just superb

 

Is the one at LIMA one of these upgarded airframes ? looks like the same colour scheme. Hope it stays around until Sunday pm when I arrive in LGK

MiG29N taxy with air intake closed... superb pictures TK... more please

 

 

Excellent pictures..... Have noticed that the squadron markings on the MiG's have changed. What's happened to the Cobra ? Are they still 19 Sqn ?

 

See LIMA 05 participant

Fresh from the CF today... could this be RMAF first Hawk (M40-01)

 

 

I'm spotting from public areas... but of course... still got risk

 

 

Excellent photo..... really liked the F-5's you posted before the 'crash'. Any chance or re-posting ? Whetted my appetite, don't see too many F-5's flying nowadays. Saw 2 Turkish AF examples (ex RNeth AF) in UK and one Spanish AF in Belgium all in July.

Might actually see you snapping away if your about after Xmas, as I have received confirmation from KL today that I can visit Butterworth on 27 or 28 Dec (very nice Xmas present). Hope the tour is as good as last time in 2004.

haha..thanks...wiki-ed the F-111 and read bout it..its in butterworth?no wonder la tak take off or land here..heard that it will only be there for yesterdays performance for VVIPs...i could feel the heat from the flames..it was THAT near..

 

 

Saw a RAAF F-111C do it's 'dump and burn' torching demo at Boscombe Down, UK in 1990....very impressive!!!!! Hope someone can post a photo.

 

I'm arriving in Langkawi (from the UK) on Sunday... Yes, I know the show has finished, but does anyone know when the participants will leave ? On the Sunday or will they depart on Monday (I'm hoping).

Might even see some of you MWingers if your still around after Saturday.

whoa..and they are talking about purchasing more aermachis??so the 2 MiG-29NUB isnt the only reason to pilot shortages i guess?

 

 

According to a report in an UK aviation mag the TUDM ordered 8 new MB-339CM's in Nov 2006... Does this order still stand?

 

 

Thanks Fitri for the excellent photo's. Nice to see a bit more military hardware. I was fortunate to get a visit around Butterworth in Dec 2004 and was shown several F-5's that were earmarked for upgrade, presumably the one's in your photo's are the upgarded versions.

Looking forward to seeing the Su-30MKM's in Langkawi in Dec before flying down to Penang for Xmas.

Hi Keith, welcome to MW...

and thanks for sharing those chopper photos

Managed to see them in your first posting,

maybe Photobucket server was downed for a while when Pieter viewed them.

 

Anyway... those pix are a bit oversized for the forum,

if you could resized them to below 1000px wide,

could be helpful to some of us who're still on dial up,

and lower screen resolutions

 

You could use photobucket 'edit' function for resizing.

 

See you in LIMA'07 (if you're going, that is..)

 

 

Hi Norman

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll try some that I have downsized....... These were taken at the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford in July 07.

 

Italian AF HH-3F

 

Czech AF Mi-17lS

 

Irish AC AW-39

 

German Army CH-53G

 

As for LIMA 07 I will be there, although this time only to see the departures, as getting a hotel room has proved difficult !! Maybe something to do with the Red Arrows being there, not that that bothers me as I live in the village next to their base at Scampton and see them practise every day.

I understand the Public days have been reduced to just Saturday, will these mean departures will be on Sunday or will they have rest day and leave on Monday.

Keith,

 

Welcome to MW

 

Upload here via Photobucket, as not visible for us right now...

 

 

Pieter

 

I used Photobucket, and could see the photo's when I ' previewed ' before ' posting ' !!!! Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?

 

Second attempt........

Yup , we have another heli that also used for this role, it's a S-70 Whitehawk. we have 2 of its. for the A109 in PUTD, actually its more to transport top brass in Malaysian Armed forces (its also VIP itsn't it?) rather than used for other military mission. i'll try to find this thing in one of the local defence magazine that published last year if i dont mistaken. For the A-109 as shown on the picture, i dont have any idea about it.

 

 

 

Hi, I'm a new member of MW from the UK and would like to share some more helo pics from LIMA 05, If I can manage to upload them OK. I like all things military especially Malaysian and will be back in Langkawi in Dec and then spending Xmas in Penang, with hopefully another visit around Butterworth AFB.
