flee 5 Report post Posted April 24, 2014 I wonder where the decoy will land, KLIA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon t 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2014 the "decoy" will land at subang as the same with AF One provided it is the first to land and act as a decoy. However if the actual AF One would to be the first to land at subang, then the decoy will likely land at KLIA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leon t 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2014 Yes not inly the 2 VC-25s will be here, a few days before the USAF will also bring in airport security personnel and some equipment in its likely C-17 who will go through all security measures surrounding the airfield and where even snipers be positioned and have all the aviation fuel checked and sealed for AF One etc, and in addition another C-17 will be flying in the President's limo - all in be a few USAF aircrafts to support The President's visit. Hence subang will play host to a a few USAF aircrafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted April 26, 2014 American presidents had stayed away because of years of anti-Western rhetoric under former Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad, but current Prime Minister Najib Razak wants Washington to recognise Malaysia as a global player, our correspondent adds. In his turn, Mr Obama wants Kuala Lumpur to sign a free trade deal with 10 other nations - the so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-27169405 Business end of it all I suppose ......
