And why seven (7) MiG-29N? is that a RMAF demoteam?
These are the Smokey Bandits, 5x Mig-29N flying (+ 1 spare) and one static makes 7 :wink:

That does not surprise me, as only 1 RSAF is mentioned on the official list.
I think it's more likely to see a PACAF F-16 display, as there will be 2 of them at Langkawi.

Macc,

I think you'll find F/A-18F AD-233 is 166660,not 166600.
