Mi-171 Bomba ketika latihan aras rendah dalam keadaan hujan renyai.

i think there is a sign board at the outside at LCCT (if i dont mistake) and i had seen a few time, AA officer advise any passanger who take photo at outside esp when boarding.

Hello, i think you came to KK via MAS and back to KL via AA. i dont think its a special request from KKIA but its an official law by DCA esp when in open / outside the terminal like LCCT. why taking photo is prohibited? it because when you taking photo you will disturbed the others for boarding and will make it late. try to imagine if every one want to take photo while tehre is other people want to rush for boarding. and i think it also for safety reasons. anyway i just came back from LCCT sent my wife back to KK and she just called me told she just arrived and waiting for the bags. and i like to wish Happy Chinese New Year. sorry for belated wish since i'm quite busy with my work and this monday i'll go to Kuala Langat bring my under 12 cricket player for Selangor state tournament.

since now i doesnt have any BKI spotting picture so i think this would be related to BKI history and i think it had been mentioned in last BKI thread. here is the Double Six monument at Grace Park, Sembulan. The Double Six Tragedy, also known as the Double Six Crash, was a plane crash which took place on June 6, 1976 in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. The plane, operated by Sabah Air, coming from Labuan crashed in the sub-district of Sembulan in Kota Kinabalu upon approaching Kota Kinabalu International Airport. The crash killed everyone on board the flight, including Tun Fuad Stephens, the Chief Minister of Sabah at that time. The other passengers on the flight were State Ministers Datuk Salleh Sulong, Datuk Peter Mojuntin, Chong Thien Vun, and assistant minister Darius Binion. Others who perished were the then Secretary of State for the Ministry of Finance of Sabah Datuk Wahid Peter Andau, Director of Economic Planning Unit of Sabah Dr. Syed Hussein Wafa, Isak Atan (Private Secretary to Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah), Corporal Said Mohammad (bodyguard to Tun Fuad Stephens) and Captain Ghandhi Nathan (the pilot of the aircraft). The reason behind the crash is uncertain. Immediately after the accident there were allegations of foul play because of the death of the Chief Minister, but no evidence of such has ever been found.The aircraft was an Australian designed and built Nomad. (source : Wikipedia) The Double Six monument was erected on the exact spot of the fatal crash. Before this, it was a water village area then developed to the aparments area and open public park with food kiosk. The same type plane that crashed in this tragedy.

Another photo from BKI Spotting BKI from bird eyes view.

Here is my photo, just taken on August 2007.

Still continue with A-109 LOH PUTD. Now with more weapons system. 20 mm cannon and HMG. 2.75 inch FFAR with 7 tube launcher.

Continue with A-109 LOH picture. from behind, as you can see the FLIR and other electronic equipment. Which that can carry up to 272kg.

actually i didnt noticed or remember about this helicopter. i had check the latest asset of TUDM and this one and only A-109 Power was used by TUDM as VIP role. i assumed this helicopter was received last year.

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.

Thanks, i love aviation but more to military. Some where in Sabak Bernam, Selangor. for your question about A109, i think its role now more to VIP transport rather than military operation. anyway i still wondering, where i can post my military aircraft picture in this forum?
