Anyone spotted a narrowbody (couldn't be sure if it was A or B) leaving BKI northwards about 7:30 or so this morning ?

Had bright red engines and sort of Asiana styled tail

Tried looking at FR24 but cannot pinpoint it at all

Thanks in advance :)

There's an osprey in town.

 

Might be related to this:

 

"Minister Hishammuddin will receive an official visit by Chang Wanquan, China's minister of national defense, in conjunction with the regional security meeting. After that, the minister is expected to fly on an Osprey aircraft with Ashton Carter, the U.S. defense secretary, from Kota Kinabalu to a U.S. aircraft carrier."

Thanks for the photos jahur!

 

It wasn't an exercise, but a visit by the defence sec. along with Hishamuddin to a US aircraft carrier which anchored offshore Sabah.

 

The Ospreys are a noisy piece of flying machines, saw and heard these around 6pm yesterday. :)

Not to be outdone, our local Daily Express downgraded it to a "Boeing C32" splashed on front page :lol:

An exercise, a visit ..... call it any which way

In reality, a show of Uncle Sam's military might to the island building Chinese off Sabah's west :)
