The dark grey RMAF F5E is the most beautiful birds over Butterworth of all. I'm saying as someone who use to live in Butterworth for more than a decade

Raymund, I might not get another chance before the F15s depart but I will PM you if I can go.

 

The shots above were taken with my 7D fitted with a Canon f:4-5.6 70 - 300L IS USM lens.

 

Flee, Victor, thanks for the comments.

 

You are right, it is not often that we get to see F15s here.

'Dingo Airlines' Beechcraft 350 King Air (A32-651) operating ASY456 detected over Johor heading north, probably en-route to BWH. A32-651 last visit to BWH was October last year. Also got to know a BBJ2 arrived earlier today.
