he U.S. Embassy is proud to announce the visit of the USAF Thunderbirds to Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, October 3, 2009, beginning at 10:30 am. In partnership with the Royal Malaysian Air Force, the U.S. Air Force will feature its Thunderbirds F-16 and C-17 aircrafts at the Subang Airshow.

Just watched this discovery channel program last week on the red arrows with the blue angels and thunderbirds. Very nice. I wonder if RC plane can fly a team of red arrows? that would be impressive.

Whoa! Looks like the its a Su-30MKM... Our neighbours next door made a fighter upgrade in 2003, if I'm not wrong ... Prompted RSAF to scramble for the F16C/Ds and the F-15SGs...

But given they already have the F/A-18 Super Hornet, you think they would get a carrier?? Hmm....
