@ TF-104G, Very nice pics! That is the spot indeed. I got permission to take some shot but when I walked to the helicopters a senior started shouting
. Because I had a jet leg and was tired I did not care too much (now I do
).
Q: You poor bastard, I have tears in my eyes! NOT!
A: Its hot, humid and I must do a lot of planning so yes, life is hard
.
Q: Very nice Mr van Stiphout. Is it relaxed spotting in Thailand? No problems with the police or pushy locals?
A: I met a few pushy locals (I think military) but nothing really happened. I drove around a bit all day and if I did not feel comfortable I move on. No probs.
Q: I hope you add to the Khorat 2017 mil spotting page . Time permitting of course.
A: Do you have a link?
Wednesday 22 april
After I fall asleep in the Don Muang airport it feels like a very short while before the alarm rings. Pfff. It is indeed just a 10 minutes walk to the terminal.
All goes smooth and after a breakfast I am reading some serials on the military side. Via Kuala Lumpur I arrive in a very hot Langkawi at 15.00 where a driver that I arranged picked me up
.
An hour later I drive my scooter to the airport and take pics of departing aircraft (these pics follow, I just managed to loose my history table in PS4).
I end the day with drinking beers at a beach bar. The next morning I try different spots around the airfield, here are the results of thursday 23 april:

Maybe the pics are a bit bleu-ish but somehow I cannot get it out with my PS4. Sorry for that. I use my JPEG's because my PS4 cannot read my RAW's
. All tips are welcome.
There are hardly any Dutch left around the airfield. Most where here the days before with the flight passes. Those I missed
.
In the evening I sit in the beachbar again. Life is good. It does feel like a holiday now Fishbed 9307
