iwan 3 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 A quick walk around the static display for those who couldn't make it this year The elder and younger brother from a different parent. The Typhoon. Having a stance that reminds me of the Skyhawk The Superhornet with what looks like conformal tanks on the side similar to the F-16 Block 52 Side by side comparison The SAAB Gripen Never thought the Gripen was such a tiny plane Our pride and Joy, the smokey bandits. Hope to see them one last time in 2015 hopefully they could pass as a professional aerobatic team eh? The ever-cute aermacchi and the 'uncovered' cockpit which they rushed to close after spotting me with a camera in it The Australian Wedgetail Another one of those planes i never thought id get to see up close. The IL-76. look at the size of that thing! The ATMs AW109 RSAF F-16 block 52 our very own F-18D Hornet The brand new EC-725. last LIMA it came without the TUDM markings.

Lock SH 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks for high quality pics in LGK ............ Superb job !!!....... Re: some photos of my beloved Su-30MkM. She might be russian and unreliable but she is one true beauty in the skies. Su30 is just like any other western block jets and as reliable as others. However, in our environment, there are too many people (cronies) wanted to eat the same slice of pie at highly inflated price, be it in aircraft maintenance, supply of spares, ordnance etc ........ Certainly it inflate cost/hour operation compare to other jets. E.g, MiG29 ....... everyone in frontline (guys who directly operating the a/c) know the cost analysis and implication but certainly their figure is different from what been presented to people up there. F/A-18 is a different case as it falls under 'FMS' or Foreign Military Sales agreement by the govt of USA. Under FMS, the govt of Malaysia have to abide to certain rules which involves almost every aspect, right from purchasing, operating, maintaining and upgrading the aircraft. No doubt there are a few slices of pie could be handed out to cronies but not as bad as other type of jets. How reliable is a piece of machine very much depending on how much budget one has. If properly spent, it could be as reliable as any other jets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kip Dawson 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2014 Taken On 14/12 Unknown Think I can help out on this one............... I was on Pantai Cenang on the 14th, and saw the same aircraft as you, as my photo shows this aircraft moving from a different direction, I guess you must have been on Rebak Marina. The aircraft was N188TL Citiation C680 belonging to the Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, and was one of at least 3 of their jets to visit Langkawi during December. Happy New Year to all MWingers around the globe. I have been spending another family Xmas holiday on the stunning island of Langkawi and would like to post a few 'holiday' snaps, starting with a couple of the residents.... 9M-HMW DA-40 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2014 The aircraft was N188TL Citiation C680 belonging to the Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, and was one of at least 3 of their jets to visit Langkawi during December. Wells Fargo are the go-to bank for many aircraft transactions in the United States - particularly foreign aircraft owners who want their aircraft have an N-number/registration (which can actually lead to increased resale value given the strict FAA regulations that are imposed). Whilst this aircraft may be registered to Wells Fargo, it is no doubt operated for a very wealthy firm/individual with no connection (beyond financial) with Wells Fargo themselves. There is over 6300 aircraft registered in Utah, a large proportion if not the majority will be in someway connected to Wells Fargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
