Lima 2013 Airshow (Langkawi) 30/03/2013
Went to LIMA2013 whilst travelling through Langkawi recently but couldn't really achieve good results with my travel camera and very much miss having a dslr for airshows and aircraft spotting.
In summary the best displays were from the RMAF Smokey Bandits (Mig29 Team), RAF Eurofighter Typhoons, Thai Jas-39 and the Russian Knights. Without further adieu here's the photos that i was able to get whilst mostly hiding under the IL-76's shadow and being ambushed by the few Indonesians around for group photos.













Standard issue Russian Tropical Camo.

Awesome ..... heaven... great post, thanks very much .

Here's some more for you...





















My beloved SU-30MKM



Photo taken at Cenang beach later that night with a L-100 in the distance.

oh stop it ...... not

This is obviously before the US of A curtained the airshow format world wide ... hell of a mix there ... little bit of everything

Only saw the C-17 do a display but the prior days when i was in KL apparently the other US equipment did displays, this is post cutting airshow support and more of a sales pitch to the Malaysian AF who is probably going to get the Rafale to replace the Mig-29s, F-18D and single seat hawks.
Will try upload photos from my visit to the TNI-AU Museum here in Yogyakarta (Massive collection) seem today has been written off as a down day, probably last chance to do such as i give up the laptop that i'm using that's actually been bought up for someone i know.

No excuses .... just do it .... post pics

I demand bacon lots of bacon oh beloved bacon i miss you dearly.

The amount times I was in Malaysia .. Pork on the spit was the regular diet .. what they quit killing Oikers

Went through many a restaurant and grocery store even expat and only in Jakarta and that was pretty expensive, Bali isn't so much for pork. Only two more days until i have a bacon gorging in Vietnam or if worse comes to worse 4 weeks until Holland.

Funny ain't it .. every time i went over there ... i had to take a box of Watties tomato sauce for me mate over there ... good mato sauce aye

The tomato sauce here is pretty good well Indonesian brands, Malaysian brands taste strange.

That would explain me getting used as a tomato pack mule over 1/2 dozen seasons ... yeah , with there sauce it is more mango based sweet then spice add YUK! .. but you never used that on ya .. or beloved pork spit roast

Very interesting pics - thanks for posting. So the word in Malaysia is that the air force will get Rafales to reaplace their Mig 29s/Hawk-200s/F-18Ds?
