Brief Overview About LIMA Langkawi 2011.
Malaysia is once again proud to play host to the 11th edition of the LIMA Exhibition, which will be held from 6 -- 10 December 2011 in Langkawi.

The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition is the premier destination for aerospace and maritime manufacturers targeting the Asia Pacific growth markets. For nearly 22 years, LIMA has been serving exhibitor needs by assembling key decision makers from the defence, enforcement and civil sectors. In 2009, over 210 delegations from 40 countries gathered in Langkawi Island representing what was essentially this exact market in the world. LIMA's carefully crafted programmes gave exhibitors the opportunity to access this invaluable market and help grow their business.

Since its inception in 1991, LIMA has gone from strength. From 150 companies in 1991, it attracted more than 450 companies from 25 countries with almost RM5 billion worth of business generated in the last exhibition held in 2009, and has now become one of the world's premier aerospace exhibitions.

F-16 Fighting Falcon

F-16 Capabilities Keep Climbing

Capabilities Keep Climbing
The F-16 made history when it first rolled onto the flight line -- an aircraft that literally defined high performance. And those standards keep rising as the F-16 has evolved to the most capable multirole fighter available. New technologies are incorporated into the cockpit, avionics, sensors and weapons to keep pace with the latest operational requirements.
Range and payload of the F-16 have both significantly increased. Survivability has been sharply enhanced with the more advanced warfare sensors and sophisticated decoys. Engine thrust has increased to ensure the F-16 retains its legendary aerodynamic performance.

Along the way, the aircraft has been designed to be more reliable, more maintainable and more supportable. It continues to be the most affordable multirole fighter in the skies today.

Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Participation in LIMA 11
At the invitation of the Malaysian government, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is participating in LIMA 11 with a Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) F-16 fighter aircraft and a Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) S-70B naval helicopter in the static display, as well as in a fleet display by the RSN frigate, RSS Supreme. Another RSAF F-16 fighter aircraft is performing daily solo aerial displays.

The SAF's participation in LIMA since 2001 underscores the warm and long-standing defence relations between Singapore and Malaysia. The SAF and Malaysian Armed Forces interact regularly through bilateral and multilateral exercises, professional exchanges as well as the cross-attendance of courses.

F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Overview
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a combat-proven strike fighter with built-in versatility. The Super Hornet's suite of integrated and networked systems provides enhanced interoperability, total force support for the combatant commander and for the troops on the ground.
Both the single seat E and two-seat F models convert quickly from one mission type to the next with the flip of a switch to provide consistent air dominance:
• Day/night strikes with precision-guided weapons
• Anti-air warfare
• Fighter escort
• Close air support
• Suppression of enemy air defense
• Maritime strike
• Reconnaissance
• Forward air control
• Tanker
Payload Flexibility
The Super Hornet's versatility applies to its weapon stations and payload types:
• 11 weapon stations
• Supports a full complement of smart weapons, including laser-guided bombs
• Carries a full spectrum mix of air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance
Power & Flight Characteristics
The Super Hornet is powered by two General Electric F414-GE-400 engines:
• Distinctive caret-shaped inlet to provide increased airflow and reduced radar signature
• 22,000 pounds (98 Kn) of thrust per engine, 44,000 pounds (196 Kn) per aircraft
Flight qualities:
• Highly departure resistant through its operational flight envelope.
• Unlimited angle-of-attack and carefree flying qualities for highly effective combat capability and ease of training.
• Reconfigurable digital flight-control system detects and corrects for battle damage.
Upgradeability
Long-term designed in versatility ensures the Super Hornet's investment value. Current upgrades delivered in the Block Two configuration include:
• Active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar
• Advanced targeting forward-looking infrared (ATFLIR) system
• Joint-helmet mounted cueing system (JHMCS)
• Multifunctional information distribution system (MIDS)
• Advanced aft crew station
• Fibre channel switch for increased data processing capability
• Fully integrated weapons systems and sensors for reduced crew workload and increased capability.
Production History
The Super Hornet was built by a team that includes Boeing, Northrop Grumman, GE Aircraft Engines, Raytheon, and more than 1,800 suppliers in the United States and Canada.
• First production model delivered to the U.S. Navy in December 1998
• Entered service in November 1999

Zackry Guest House Review, Map & Contact Details

2011-12-11T00:00:00.000-08:00

For LIMA Langkawi 2011, we stayed at Zackry Guest House. It is located in Pantai Tengah area. Book Private Twin Ensuite room for two day from Dec 8 - 10, 2011. Total cost for the stay was RM 130 RM. The room was clean and the staff were friendly. Fyi, they got 3 friendly dog at their guest house. And the internet is bit slow.

To get to the guest house from Airport, just go to the airport taxi counter. The taxi charge to the guest house is RM 20 per trip.

Besides the guest house got some western, chinese and seafood restaurants. Got a malay restaurant as well just few meters from the guest house. The environment is peaceful except in the evening and night expect to hear Mexican songs from the nearby Mexican Restaurant.

You can rent motorbike and cars from T Shoppe, just 3 minutes walk heading to Holiday Villa direction. You can rent a scooter for RM 33 per day. They got cheaper scooters as well.

From the guest house it is less than 5 minute ride to Pantai Chenang, it is most popular beach in Langkawi. Take your breakfast at Nasi Tomato Kandar and go for a swim at Pantai Cenang. It just behind the restaurant. Nice to go for a swim in early morning (> 7.30 am ). The beach is shallow and water is crystal clear. As any beach always take precaution !

There a lot of eateries at Pantai Cenang. And Langkawi Underwater World, is just nearby.

Overall the guest house is value for money, but if you want to find a hotel/ hostel find a place to stay in Pantai Cenang area, that's the best place to be. You can get a taxi back to airport for only RM 20.

Be careful when you make room reservation from online travel agents

2011-11-01T06:40:00.000-07:00

When you make room reservation from online travel agents, first of all check whether there are any hidden charges that you need to pay.

Sometimes they will show you the total room charge only in bold and the other charges in normal text.

For example the charges would be listed like this

Total Room Charges : USD 200
Extra Bed : USD 70

When it is listed like above you might tend to think that you need to pay only 200 USD and the extra bed charges is included in the total room charges.

Once you have fill in your details and confirm the reservation using your credit card then only the online travel agent site will show the final amount charged to the credit.

I myself made this silly mistake :) Ended paying extra 70 USD. Whereas there was another online travel agent selling the same thing for much less.

Luckily managed to cancel the reservation and got the refund back.
