Jahur,

 

Thanks for the photo from Melaka.

No wonder yesterday morning , a few aircraft from Subang were bound for Melaka around 1000.

I heard ATC subang mentioned that Melaka weather yesterday morning was visibility 1000M Thunderstorm and rain.

 

Lovely shot on interior of CL-415, M71-01

The KrisSakti team only arrived and performed on the last day of the air carnival. Nevertheless, only 2 aircrafts ( No.2 and No.3 ) were involved, and the routine does not seems as exciting as the ones during LIMA 2012. :(

If the MB339 can make a low flypass, why not the "SuperScooper"? ;)

Very good coverage. Thanks.

 

I have been looking at the KrisSakti aircraft but can't see any serials/registrations. Do they not carry any?

Uncle Norman, fantastic coverage! Any photo of Denise? :p

 

LaurieB, I have a walkaround for KrisSakti aircraft No.3 and seriously I cannot found any rego as well. Strange right?

Uncle Norman, very good coverage. Many thanks.

 

Is the Melaka show an annual one? If so, must get down next year.

 

MMLim, thanks. Very strange. Were you able to see if there was any serial/reg plate in the cockpit?

Fantastic shots, guys! I wonder what's the function of the extra bars under R44(N654LH).

Doesn't it say Lancair on the nose of 9M-WAN ?

From Wikipedia...

The Cessna 400 Corvalis is a single-engine, fixed-gear, low-wing general aviation aircraft built from composite materials by Cessna Aircraft. The Cessna 400 was originally built by Columbia Aircraft as the Columbia 400.

The Cessna 400 was derived from the normally aspirated Columbia 300 which was itself derived from the Lancair ES kit aircraft.

Hi LaurieB,
