Good catches from the base Flee..... The last photo showes "FAB" & "Bashful" saluting ... pilots for M52-12 SU30MKM.... Here are my takes of their performance during Saturday rehearsal ... and two shots from Smokin' Bandits...

Saturday morning rehearsal session.... only one Bisa & one Taufan Friendly pilots... FAB & Bash... Butt shot... It was hot while waiting for Smokin' Bandit to complete the display... Met MMLim from Melaka .... and non-military stuff... notice the buckets while taxying...

TK, Did you have anything to do with the dugong landed on 32R and taxi via Golf?

If you go back to the same spot today.... you'll see dead grass with body mark...

Nice sky to welcome the dugong... and FLee's UWA thinning out the fat mama ...

It's on the 3rd of June, starting 1000 till 1900.

Laurie, I think what TK meant was the 'pipe' installed just above the wording "MARATIM MALAYSIA" on starboard, but not on port side.

We'll see them again on the 3rd of June in Subang next week...

Nice view from the tower.... However.... something is not right with the design... controller unable to see most part of the apron...

Nice catch.... and good moment too FLee...... I only seen its inaugural flight through FR24 only....

If I'm not wrong.... the last pix in Naim's post showed 10500' min altitude for the area... The aircraft was flying at 10000' and requested descend to 6000' ??

Good catch TK.... what time she arrived?

Flee.... you should wait for another hour as Grizzly-4 took-off at 1200, an hour after she taxied to Airforce base, about the same time the C17 landed.... Yeah... worth 4-hour wait today, the first 2hrs was "in the dark" as I don't have a scanner, only after 1000 that we can monitor the movements... We were very lucky as OZ435... C-17 did a go-around before landing, as she came as a surprise... Waited for an hour as "predicted" by TK, proved right.... and our minds were frantically trying to decide to where to position ourselves as we were unsure initially where the Grizzly going to take-off from..... and initially she were offered Rwy33, as she emerged from Zulu... Luckily she declined.... and proceed to Rwy15 We were too late to move to another location (thinking she might go all the way to Kilo... where the furniture shop would be the best, if not the small hill..)... then we heard she'll take Hotel.... right in front of us... Just nice for butt-shot... and... look... both sides no more roundel... and... a short unedited FullHD video from D7000 & that's TK's at 0:21 .... and yeah... lucky for TK too.... as ex-Mr Trump posing for the camera for a few minute before went off for a short 20min spin to 10000ft

Good catch Tukun & KS Ong.... The RMAF roundel has gone... BTW... the 402 decomm from RMAF last year if I'm not mistaken...

The Grizzly-4 taxied to Airforce base on her own power for the welcoming ceremony... Shot from far & highly cropped.. An Israel IAI-1124-A Westwind from Philippine, RP-C5880.... has that Flying Doctor logo on the fuselage note: Still waiting for timing of the Grizzly-4 joyrides tomorrow..

Check Tukun59's video few posts above.... left yesterday morning I believe. Good catch of V8-ALI, tukun59....

Fixing the decal... Official .... an RMAF aircraft already Checking tyre pressure... we missed the arrival by half an hour....

Hahaha..... seems that I've chosen 'stabilise' when uploaded in youtube, and what youtube did was to stabilise the shaky video images, and make the 'stable' captions to dance.... huuu.....

Thanks AbahAtuk I need ND filter attached to go lower than 1/50s yesterday... already at max aperture of f/22... hehe... As for the steadycam..... they're very expensive!... Even the simple flycam that can take the weight already can buy you a dslr...

Thanks MIR..... need some dslr-video stabiliser next heheeh.... Not sure about the B737 in Airod, probably that of Sand's but too far out to make out. As for the Air Australia... somebody tweeted that she was at Skypark the night before so probably left earlier...

I tried to shoot some videos with my D7000. I learned that to blur out the props, you've to set the shutterspeed to about 1/50sec. Here's my badly shoot video of some props movements yesterday.... Sorry for the shakiness ... handheld of the heavy 80-200 lens... Those with high bandwidth can view it in FullHD http://youtu.be/jmSceTxB0dQ

Went to SZB hoping to get the last Air Australia aircraft, scheduled to depart at 1400 today... But no luck .... waited from 1215-1520... Anyway... these are some of the catch within that time frame... high rollers on-board? doing one circuit out from Airod.... and on the way back, stopped for a shot of what is left of the B742...

RSFC is based in Sempang (Sg Besi Airport) http://www.rsfc.com.my/location.html Anyway... there're a few flying clubs and some private aircraft (single engine) that are based in Subang as well as the RSFC aircraft do some practices in SZB too...

You've the photo of AOG M53-01?

From all the previous altitude calls to descend by ATC... "TO" were omitted as well.... and was correctly report back by the crew, that was the standard at that time I think, except that the 2400' was mistakenly read as "TO Four Hundred"... and wasn't corrected by ATC...
