KC Sim 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) After spending two days at the Singapore Airshow 2010, some of us are really tired, extremely burnt but deliriously happy with our experience. The air display notwithstanding, there is plenty to rejoice over on the ground and the following images along with those already posted represent just a teensy weensy fraction of what we shot. Yesterday's highlight was the arrival of the Airbus A330-200F on its maiden participation in an airshow anywhere in the world. During the time it was towed to the show site, we had a field day mingling around the plane and photographing it from just about any angle. Just like two years ago when we had similar freedoms with the A380, the police and other personnel involved in the exercise paid little attention to us. Today (1 Feb) was Media Day and we went in really early and the sun was blazing. Naturally, we made it firstly to the A330-200F again for more shots. And here's one of the nose. Next to catch our attention was the Dash 8 Q400 painted in the colours of AirBaltic. Thankfully we photographed it then, for later in the day, it was moved to a tighter spot. RSAF's Gulfstream G550AEW was naturally popular with us - it seems really huge and only with wide angle lenses were we able to take it all in. This afternoon, Garuda's B737-800 arrived - and thanks to Tsen Tsan's eagle eye were we able to rush out to photograph it (once again relishing in the freedom accorded us by the police). The US Navy Lockheed P-3C Orion was a popular plane too . . . for oldies like me, it reminded me of the Lockheed Electra. Here's two shots - the first one taken in the morning and the second one taken later in the afternoon. A C-130J from the USAF was also nearby, catching the setting sun. A pair of USAF F-15s is nestled among the larger types . . . again the setting sun provided a different mood for these lethal fighters. Indisputed star of the day is the General Dynamics F-111 of the Royal Australian Air Force. Even on the ground, it proved to be a heart-stopper. The setting sun and very tolerant personnel gave us plenty to capture. To all our friends descending on Changi for the airshow, we hope this gives us a fore-taste of what to expect . . . have a safe and pleasant trip here. See you at the show.

Hoe Jyh 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-800 PK-GMF PK-GMF was delivered to Garuda Indonesia on 23 December 2009 and features GA's new cabin product. This includes individual IFE systems in both economy and business class. PK-GMF glistening under the mid-afternoon sun wearing the carrier's new Nature's Wings livery. The distinctive front and side profile of Boeing's bestselling narrowbody product, with more than 6,000 of them delivered in the past 43 years. Personally, I still prefer the B737-800 anytime over the A320. Garuda Indonesia had opted to repeat the Nature's Wings livery on the blended wingtips as well. Due to the size of the aircraft, the tow truck executed a 3-point turn at the end of the taxiway to push the B738 tail first into the static aircraft display area. Bombardier Dash8-Q400 AirBaltic C-FZGL Side profile of this slender prop aircraft. A more frontal view which shows another perspective of Air Baltic's simple "Euro-white" livery. The newest member of the popular Dash 8 family is powered by 2 PW150A turboprop engines. With such unbelievably blue skies in the morning, it certainly gave the impression that the photo was taken in Canada rather than in Singapore! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ignatius 4 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Well, when else to get the best capture other than the MEDIA day!

kianhong 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Here's rather random shots from SA 2010 since a lot have been posted by HJ, TT and KC. This is to Gav. Cockpit of the A330-200F (F-WWYE). Exactly same as the pax version except some extra switches to control temperature of the upper and lower cargo deck. According to the Airbus reps who gave us the priavte tour, she was flown to Canada on the 23rd Jan for cold-soak test and then back to Toulouse before coming to SA2010. Again highlght of the aerial display. RAAF F-111 'dump n burn'. The customary seat-pitch photo onboard the G550. That's urs truly legs. Awesome experiance looking out of those huge windows! USAF KC-135. Iggy: B52 fly pass is going to be on the 6th FEB. First public day. Thanks for viewing. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoe Jyh 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 Some photos during the A332F Cargo Door Demonstration event on Monday morning. A concerned Airbus captain ensures that the airstairs do not damage the body of the aircraft during the docking process. The engine covers were removed before the demonstration to faciliate photography The prototype A332F is powered by a pair of Pratt & Withney PW4127 turbofans instead of the recommended RR Trent 700 engines. Main Deck Cargo Door in the open position. Striking red warning tabs protrudes out of the cargo door to warn the crew that the door is not locked. The tabs will automatically rotate to be flushed with the body as the locking mechanism engages. One of the many Erosion Resistance Test Strips pasted on the airframe. Cockpit view showing the modern "glass cockpit" typical of most Airbus aircraft. The cargo area is seperated from the courier section and the cockpit by a barrier wall which is rated to 9G Sample cargo pallet loaded in the cargo area Scale model showing how different types of cargo can be carried on a A330-200F. View of the cargo area. The aftmost floor section still has a noticeable tilt despite the extensive modifications to the airframe in order to level the floor.
