Christopher Teoh 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 I have photos from LIMA'91/93/95. You will have to wait a while before I can scan them and have it posted because my albums are tucked away in Malaysia (I'm in the US right now). I am planning on visiting home in around June, only then will I be able to post them up. Yes, the Russian Knights were here during 91/93. Sadly I watch their last aerial display in '93 before their ill-fated departure back for Russia. The Russian Swift were right there too with their Mig-29As if I recall correctly. Anyway, reflecting back on the old LIMA's it is ironic to note that all the main Russian fighters on display there (except for the Mig-31) are now part of the RMAF inventory!

Once the clinched the deals... they won't send the aircraft anymore... It's a 'market'... you display what you want others to buy... Anyway... 2007 was my 2nd LIMA... was 1st there in 2005 using prosumer I've shown these before... but for this thread.. Russian Ahmoi & Russian Fighter... The Top-Guns..

Anyway... 2007 was my 2nd LIMA... was 1st there in 2005 using prosumer I've shown these before... but for this thread.. but i thought teams like the russian knights and swifts attend shows just for display purposes..something like what the red arrows did during the last LIMA.. i even found a video( ) of a russian Su-27/30 in grey-black-white camouflage performing in langkawi in 2003..the deal was already clinched before that right?how nice if i were there..anyway,since we MIGHT be getting a second squadron of flankers,why not bodek by sending their best planes and pilots here during LIMA? and in the 'top guns' pic..what is that blue bag hanging around their necks?tak nampak macam part of the G-suit pun..very nice pictures btw!thanks!

I remember being all excited when news broke that Dornier will shift SeaStar's production line to Penang. Guess nothing happened. BTW is LIMA losing its stature? In the early days ('93) they would bring the MD-11 down for the show - Swiss HB-IWE to be precise. Today we turn the clock and get IL-86!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
