Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Malaysia 2011, day 6, Butterworth

Post by stipjes »

Today was the first cloudy day and departure day. Fortunately we were able to make some ok photos. On the showtopic we placed some more pics but because I think it is saturated a bit I start a new follow on topic in the hope I can share my pics a bit more. I will not call it “Langkawi, my impression” ;-).

After tomorrow I hope to shoot some more pics in Malaysia and will put them here too.
The show pics can be found here; http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php? ... 3&start=15

The Singapore CH-47 came in as a cargo plane and will leave tomorrow. Also a SingAF C-130 should arrive tomorrow morning. With the Sea King we were Lucky. It made a short flight and came in just before the rain.

Thanks Steeph, wish you where here......
Today was great. My first SingAF C-130B on plaat!!!!! 55 years old and still glossy! The Hornets and Rafale's are still in but after the support a/c were loaded all Singapore a/c left. The French Transall has a long way to go I think. I seems it is not so fast.....

Yesterday we left Langkawi. A C-135FR arrived for the Rafale ferry.
Image
The museum in Kuala Lumpur has many nice a/c. Also some Sea Kings were flying (including a/the white one).
Image
2 Skyhawks are present
Image
The 2 Sikorsky's were parked in a hangar. I hope they only have 2. This one I read as 2.
Image

After this Stephan left and I went to Butterworth to see F-5's.

A week ago we where send away from the fence, enabling a shoot sideways in the hangars.

(these sights make every heat worth daring to resist)

What is the name of the museum close to KL?
I am going to KL next year to visit my brother and am wondering if the museum is interesting enough for a visit.

Thanks.
