iwan 3 Report post Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) didn't realize got so black the smoke! haha... hahaha..the white smoke used was almost invisible against the grey clouds over subang that day.but black smoke does look more dramatic eh?? The last maneuver shown by Iwan really caught me by surprise. It was really a great maneuver. Looks like plenty of practice for me. You guys posted photos that are ultra sharp! haha.that was one of the reasons why i wrote down the maneuver list on a piece of paper stuck to my camera.made sure i was ready for ALL the photo opportunities. missed a few due to the speed of the planes..was ready to snap the surprise 'sneak pass' from the left and the two solo planes chasing the formation with afterburners but the plane was just too fast!! anyway here are more pics.everytime i look at my folder i will want to upload more pics.'jakun' DSLR i guess..hope u guys dont mind.. diamond formation.this was right after the 4 panes crossed at showcentre..amazing how fast they regrouped for this pass.. my best shot of the day!!perfect mirror??almost.. admiring the elegance of the viper.. mantan again..quite elegant also.. the pilots returning from a very entertaining show! one last call for attention just as the crowd thought it was over.. "thunderbirds,butt out.." amazing synchronization between the pilots.. went over to the MkM..one hell of a plane she is..spent a good 15 minutes taking her picture and admiring the plane..the flankers were the main reason why i got hooked up with my interest in planes..getting to see them with my own eyes is a great pleasure everytime.. went over to the F-16..also one of my favourite planes..favourite among the non-russian planes.. always was torn between the 'macho-ness' of the Su-30 and the elegance of the F-16..but this 2 pics clearly shows the winner.. the MkM looks like it can take on all six of the F-16s anytime! p/s:got my pictures rejected by airliners.net more then 10 times during the last LIMA..merajuk awhile but maybe i should give it a try since im using a different camera..

flee 5 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Anyone going to Bangkok/DMK for second chance? I am still trying to recover from the excitement of last week! p/s:got my pictures rejected by airliners.net more then 10 times during the last LIMA..merajuk awhile but maybe i should give it a try since im using a different camera.. You need to look at the pix published in a.net and learn what kind of quality they are looking for. They have guidelines for you. You will note that our Malaysian Wings contributors like Capt Radzi, Chaity, etc. are very successful because they have the kind of quality pix that a.net is looking for. Its not about what camera you use, it is more about the quality of the pix that you submit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for sharing your pix and videos - this makes the coverage more comprehensive.

iwan 3 Report post Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) the amount of rubbish on the tarmac was terrible!!what made it worse was the strong winds that blew them all over the tarmac..there was a time when i think winds from different direction blew and those plastic bags flew up high in the air..in formation with newspapers and torn posters..i was dying to get a poster of the MkM and the thunderbirds and these people just tear it and leave it around like that..really upset seeing such nice posters on the floor..sighh.. anyway..some my final batch of pictures from the day.. (legaa x dgr? ) the Su-30MkM on static display being towed away after the crowd dispersed.. note the technical crew in the back seat..thats how i would look like if i ever had the chance to sit in the cockpit.. nothing special with this pic..just that the wings of the MkM was above my head and u dont get to say "a flanker wing passed over me during taxi" everyday.. amazed by the height and size of those vertical stabilizers.. taxiing away..imagine me waving with tears in my eye.. sprinting ahead not wanting to let her get away so fast.. (yes i can run faster then a plane) was sad to see her being towed away..something like watching your girlfriend walking away with another guy..hehe..ok,over exaggerated..thought it was goodbye but with the help of a very friendly pak guard and a friend from another forum.. i got to see 'girlfriend' for one last time!

Ashmil Abd Ghani 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Some pictures to share for those waiting the C-17 Globermaster III action on Saturday but it never turn up that day...No idea why... 11 days ago punya old story to share... On 02 Oct 09, around 1045LT arrived with TK and Farids... Saw this big gray whale... Look like she has difficulties to turn from taxiway 4 Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 turbofan engines with 40,440 pounds of thrust on each engine. Maximum indulgence to capture this 1 Out from taxiway at front of Transmile hangar. 51.74m wing tip to wing tip. The logos on fuselage; Left:Air National Guard & Right:Pacific Air Forces 7.34m height and 48.49m length from nose to butt. Airborne, takes about 2 football field to take-off Even with empty cargo and less fuel,, but the power of to take-off in short distance admire me... 2 minutes later 10 minutes later $218 million (as in year 2007) toys just 200m from me Friendly crews...The right seat pilot is lady 15th Airlift Wing 154th Wing Hawaii Air National Guard 5147 is for Air Mobility Command markings. Finally the tail HH is tail code for Hickham AFB, Hawaii HI. Home to 154th Wing. 16.79m top tail height from ground. So my personal dream to see C-17 Globermaster III achieved and so next wish is Lockheed C-5 Galaxy ... 999 Edited October 12, 2009 by Ashmil Abd Ghani Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can send to 'Tempur' magazine (plus invoice!)? haha..always loved the flankers and the fulcrums.MkM is like the 'awek baru' and only getting to see her 3 times in 2 years is torture.. tempur pays for photographs?i always wondered where they get those brilliant shots of the MkMs in the skies.those shots taken from a cockpit of another plane.the latest tempur mag had a picture of 2 MiG-29s flying beside the MkM.stunning really.
