March 26 ~ 30, 2013!!..

My countdown to LIMA 2013 (The Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition)  begins last December when i booked the air ticket to the Mystical Island of Langkawi for the event. I wasnt expecting to get any ticket at all since from my previous experience, air ticket will be sold out (or very expensive) for the weekend Public Day of the exhibition (since that week is also the School Holiday week), but alas i somehow manage to get 2 return tickets @ around RM120 each!!.. thats a bargain in my book for such a sought-after weekend.

What getting me even more excited is to finally be able to see the Russian Knights (Russian Acrobatic Team) in action. They are schedule to performed at this year LIMA from what i can see from their schedule HERE.. Russian Knights Schedule
 One of these days, i'm going to make a model of the Russian Knights to add in my collection....

For details on the LIMA 2013 and the surrounding area (photo spot, aerial view etc) visit this awesome blog that tell you everything that you need to know on getting the right image of the event at the place... i think it is even better than the official LIMA 2013 website... http://langkawiairshowfan.blogspot.com/

So more on this after the event itself..... oh btw..this is my first trip to LIMA via plane.. before this i would have travelled early in the morning to Kuala Kedah to catch the earliest ferry to the island... i find that way is more hassle that i could asked for.. so the air ticket way is the obvious choice this time around to avaid all the unnecessary travelling.. but of course need to get to the airport early!!

Hopefully PRU'13 is not on that weekend!!

LIMA 2011 - here i come!!

(actually tomorrow, but since early tomorrow morning i'll depart to Langkawi so i posted this today... :o) )

Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA) Exhibition 2011 is happening now (for the public) until tomorrow in where else... Langkawi Island and i'll be there tomorrow morning...


 Now at its 11th edition and my 2nd LIMA visit to date ( i was there during LIMA 2007). My main interest is to see the the Dassault Rafale, Saab Gripen, FA-18E Super Hornet and the Eurofighter in person also not forgetting the TUDM MIG-29s and the SU-30MKM....

I'm also going to make sure i didnt miss the helicopter exhibition on the tarmac and visiting the souvenir shop since i somehow forget to do so on my last visit in 2007 (maybe during that time i was captivated by the Red Arrows acrobatics performance  a few meters above my head hahahaha)

I planned to go via Kuala Kedah and still haven't decided if its going to be a day trip or will stay there until Sunday morning since accommodation shouldn't be a problem since i have a cousin working on the island.

Anyway for more info on LIMA 2011 visit http://www.lima.com.my/  and remember that today is the starting day for the public to visit the exhibition (9-10 December) since the last 3 days (6,7, 8 December) it only open for Trade Visitors

I'll post some photos during my visit there sometime next week and until then....
