:D

Hahaha....

Jon was too slow in capturing me 'flying'...

Gears extended already for landing,

unlike you that managed to catch the missus at fully 'retracted gear'... hehehe

 

OKlar... nice jump nevertheless, but why it looks soo empty at the apron? :blink:

We went in very early... being 'kiasu' ourselves...

 

There was a problem with the RAAF F111 performance today, 040210(Thu), no dump and burn.

hmmm... could it be due to this? (The Star Online)

Singapore aborts flight show after safety breached

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore aborted a flight display at its international airshow on Thursday after a South Korean pilot steered his jet too close to spectators, witnesses and the show organiser said.

 

An aerial display, which was supposed to last for eight minutes, was shortened to less than half that after the error by the T-50 Golden Eagle jet, owned by the Korean Aerospace Industries.

 

"The T-50 Golden Eagle's flight this afternoon was observed to have infringed the safety boundaries and the pilot was instructed to terminate his flying display as a precaution," Singapore Airshow's Marilyn Ho said in an email to Reuters.

 

"The Singapore Airshow has strict safety standards for all aerial displays. Proper safety markers and boundaries are in place to ensure the safety of the audience and the pilots." The week-long biennial Singapore Airshow kicked off on the densely populated island-state on Tuesday and is due to open to public this weekend, when thousands of spectators are expected to visit.

 

Thursday's flight display was watched by hundreds of trade visitors -- many of whom were wowed by the aircraft's proximity as it approached the show centre's seaside grounds, and then made an acute turn back out to sea, a witness told Reuters. "I was surprised at how low the aircraft was flying. First, I thought it was part of the thrill factor, but found it anti-climaxed when I didn't see the jet return, only to realise that the show had ended," said a Singaporean photographer who didn't want to be identified.

just got back from today's show...was surprised at the trade day's attendees today...many were looking like students & tourist hence a more than usual crowd i'd expect on a trade day...

was quite dissapointed initially when i saw not many aircrafts were at the static display & after hearing the news of cancellation of the F-111 & the T-50 aerial display...tho was soon delighted when RSAF duo put down an impressive show...

a total of 4 aircraft went into the air today <_< namely the RSAF F16 + AH64D, A10 Thunderbolt II, Eurocopter EC130 & the Aermacchi M346...that's all :(

on the bright side...got myself a jolly good tan tho...hahahaha...as if i need more of those :p

pics comin up soon...

 

 

arghhhh...sunburnnnn!!!!
