Norman 1 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 What a washed out due to poor weather... 1000++ shots and most of them unusable... Anyway, I'll share some of them that I managed to shoot from my location... Firstly... the SU30MKM set.. Taxying to runway 15.. Airborne.. and gear up Right turn out to give great side shots to our spotters on the "grass".. Heading towards the crowd in the airbase.. One of the limited numbers of usable SU30MKM airdisplay photos... Note the HUD green glows... Coming back to base with airbrake deployed... another good photo opportunity to our spotters on the "grass".. The thunderbirds next... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Only 6 perform,,no double seated a/c for formation in Malaysia tour... Any reason why??Could be different in technical and formation here compare others state?? On the Friday display, Thunderbird 4 was the two seater. Thunderbirds just took-off for next destination (Bangkok?). Bye bye, thank you for coming. The team took off from SZB at about 9.25 am this morning, did a farewell flypast over KL and headed for Guam. Yes, I am sure all of us here would like to thank the USAF for making last week one that we will not forget! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iwan 3 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 I saw thunderbirds in Subang in 1994... so that makes 1987-1994-2009..will be a long time before we see them again. btw here are some more pics taken during the day.. the crossover after the heart shaped loop!lucky i got it in frame! not the best picture but i really really admire the precision in their flying..just look at Thunderbird 4 in the slot position..EXACTLY in the middle!!amazing really! another show of precision..this picture is enough to answer my mums question the night before.."what is it with planes that u love so much???waste time waste money.." would be great if a model of this setup could be made.. next up,my take on the bomb burst maneuver!!

Final preparation before taxi to 15 Look closely... he was looking at me Fogging the mosquitoes at threshold of 15 Airborne... We go that way.... no..no... we go that wayy! Ok..ok.. we go left...No..no... we go right! Hmmm... we go up... or we go 'up'?... Anybody care to measure the distance between each other? Bet, their distances are within 5% error... Or what about taking a ruler and draw a straight line along their butts...? Wei! Not yet laa..... I come... ... show you my belly... .... and I go... Good show guys....
