From the Langkawi Tower Facebook page:

From the Scramble messageboard:

18 mar 5 Russian Knights Su-27 departed Kubinka air force base with Il-76 ahead towards Langkawi.

Feom the Langkawi Tower Facebook page:

22nd March:

They've landed.























The static display starts to take shape.













It is not often a control tower keeps fans informed like this! My deepest appreciation to them.

They can be found at:

And it looks pretty sunny there, too.


This site is also publishing an update on aircraft arrivals:

The Russian Knights are rare sightings- they do not perform very often. This is their schedule for 2013:

It is even harder to find them in skies that are not polluted, under fine weather conditions.
