Attan 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 The rising sun is the insignia of the "Sundowners" squadron VF-111. They used to operate F-14's. Thanks for the excellent shots, Amzari. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2006 i tot that was some nuclear aircraft carrier if i remeber its CVN-68 uss nitmitz which visit port klang.. Nimitz, Kitty Hawk and John C. Stennis are among carriers I remember visited Port Klang, based on newspaper articles. It would be nice to have a guided tour for the public. TV3 got a chance to videotape some scenes on board one of them and showed in Majalah Tiga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice pictures. did u ask them what they were doin here? picking up supplies or maintenance? didn't know that Kitty Hawk was decom already, but she's pretty old anyways. Btw, is that a Fokker in the background of one of your pictures? hehe.... she were picking up a bunch of army generals for tour to USS Ronald Reagan somewhere near Natuna Island.Yup..It's fokker,in non-flyable condition..waiting for somebody to buy it according to my realiable source..hehe Edited February 9, 2006 by amzari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice to have a guided tour for the public. TV3 got a chance to videotape some scenes on board one of them and showed in Majalah Tiga. USS Carl Vinsson was also in Port Klang a few years ago. I went on board as it was open to the public but we weren't allowed to go on deck. In the hangars below were F18's, F14's, Seahawks, A6 Prowlers, Vikings, etc. It was worth the traffic jams to get there and back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
