Royal Malaysian Air Force forms aerobatics team

Post by Stratofreighter »

http://www.nst.com.my/local/general/kri ... ies-1.4595 states this new "Kris Sakti" team will be flying with four Extra 300L aircraft.
In previous Lima editions, the RMAF put up aerobatic teams like the Taming Sari, comprising Pilatus PC-7 turboprops and others,
involving the MiG-29N Fulcrum air superiority and Sukhoi Su-30MKM Flanker jet fighters.

In 2007 waren dat gewoon solo-demo's hoor. Het meest op een team leken vier F-18's.

Hm, from the first post link, the photo is Hawks of Romania display team - http://aerobaticteams.net/hawks-of-romania-gallery.html

The RMAF has an aerobatic teams named Smokey Bandits - http://aerobaticteams.net/smokey-bandits.html

But for me is strange, why their Air Force formed a team flying EXTRA 300.

They most certainly are flying Extras - the pilots had about a month training at Sywell with The Blades

Looks like the old Swiss 300L HB-MTC (cn 1213).
The HB-MTC had a crash in 2009, was rebuild and for sale in 2010.

I received some info from one of the pilots:

Other 3 are:

N207X c/n 1207
N43CV c/n 1269
N711KG c/n 1227

They are owned by a company and flew by RMAF pilots.
Team is temporaly disbanded now.

Yes indeed, I checked them at Langkawi.
My interested faded when a pilot told me they are NOT military aircraft. The team consists of both civil and military pilots.
