This time I spend my summer holiday in Malaysia. Besides the normal sight seeing and time at the beach also some time for Spotting was found.
Unfortunately all my base visits were cancelled because of the Ramadan, so I have to found my luck outside the fence.
This is what we saw:
I really hoped to see this RF-5E and we did saw them at Butterworth AFB
Besides F-5's and F/A-18D's Butterworth also houses a number of Hawks like this one.
The sunlight in the morning was very good as they started flying around 07:00 in the morning.
The dark colour of the Hornets and the sun changing later in the morning make it not better, but still a very nice plane to see.
Still going strong this S.61A and they were see flying at almost every RMAF base like this one at Sungai Besi
We didn't saw any of this rare birds flying...Still don't know or this MD3-160''s are still in service, but they were undergoing maintenance.
Some nice Maritim Malaysia Helicopters from the nearby Subang were training at Sungai Besi
This CN-235 is still were anniversary marks of the 53th independance of Malaysia and is based at Subang
Still one of the beauties of the RMAF are the Mig-29's, I was happy to catch some as they don't fly much nowadays because of defence cuts.
Malaysia is one of the less countries flying the MB-339 besides the AMI. This one was also seen at Kuantan and is from the Tiger Squadron.
At Alor Setar you can find a lot off Red/White PC-7 trainers, which fly very very good.
Hope you like them...........
Happy Spotting in Malaysia
