Re: LIMA 2017
Stunning stuff especially the Malaysian Hornet and Flanker. That nose radar on the Squirrel is clearly far too heavy though!
Re: LIMA 2017
Superb set of images, and how cool do the Russian Knights look on the SU-30!?
Some line-up right enough, the Malaysian stuff alone would be a reason to visit but then you add in the B-1B and the Knights as well, amazing.

They are all excellent images. Love the Russian aircraft which, sadly, we rarely see in Australia these days.

Wonderful, wonderful aircraft porn, thank you!
Out of interest, when was the last time the US and Russia appeared in the flying display of an airshow together?
