Lock SH 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2011 Normally runway 36 is the main runway in use in Butterworth. I would say Telok Air Tawar (in paddy field area). If runway 18 then Bagam Ajam or residential area next to perimeter fence is the place. have a look at google map to find the best spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know where is a good place for spotting the Ex-Bersama Lima birds.....thinking of goin for spotting last week saw a couple of F/A-18 and BAe Hawks doing training. count me in if you still thinking of spotting. the safest area to spot would be from the paddy field. spotting from the perimeter fencing would most definitely attract the Provost attention..

MIR 2 Report post Posted October 22, 2011 Fuiyoh..Marvellous shots,Victor The third photo is my favourite. I think the RAAF (A21-44) is a normal Hornet, Super Hornets have rectangular air-intakes. There's also a F/A-18A Hornet in special colour scheme this time, rego is A21-38. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaurieB 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2011 Very nice shots Victor. Third shot for me as well. Saw the special tail F/A 18 off the beach here at Batu Ferringhi yesterday afternoon. Too far away for a decent photo though. Seems to have "70" on the fins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
