Butterworth, 28 July 2016.

Post by DeltaCharlieKilo » Fri Jul 29, 2016 8:24 am

I normally just 'lurk' on the board as I rarely have any mil stuff to show.

However, Ex Cope Taufan 2016 has just wrapped up at Butterworth with some Kadena and Misawa AFB based units participating.

Managed to get over there yesterday and grab a few shots.

Great shots Laurie in some very good light - thanks for sharing

They are all good but the F15's get my votes, particularly like numbers 5 & 6 :thumb:

Thanks for the comments guys. Have to wait another 2 years for them to appear again.

Otafox: Alan, will hopefully have more later in the year when the Typhoons arrive for Ex. Bersama Lima. The Red Arrows are scheduled to be around as well. Haven't seen them for almost 9 years.
Regards,

Laurie.

Hi Laurie
Missed these.
What a great set, love the Royal Malaysian Air Force Hawk 108 shots.
That variant of Hawk looks a beast.
Thanks for posting
