Singapore Air Show 2010

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the heads up, missed the news report that you've put up. :blink:

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

BTW... pictures to follow later...

Raj,

 

You didn't miss much <_ . imo the last show was much better.>

 

Agree. :( Was bored just after the A-10 demo. Don't understand why RSAF send just 1 jet for flying display instead of a whole squadron like last time. Also SIA not lending any support this time. No booth at all. Instead we got Halo, Wolverine, even Starscream!

 

Last show was definitely better. Now to hit the models stores tomorrow.

Learjet 60XR cockpit. Very similar layout in terms of switches and major system compared LR45. Of course with more advanced avionics.

Cabin of Global Express XRS. I still like my G550 anytime! :pardon:

Even Garuda equipped their aircraft with AVOD IFE on every seat. MH better wake up! And it's touch screen! :good:

NAHA, Japan, Feb. 6 (AP) - (Kyodo)—A B-52 bomber made an unscheduled landing Saturday at the U.S. Kadena Air Base in Okinawa Prefecture because of fuel shortage, base officials said.

 

The bomber had left Guam and was heading to Singapore to perform at an air show, but it decided to land at the base in the evening because it was unable to receive fuel through aerial refueling as scheduled, the officials said.

 

They said the bomber will head to Singapore as soon as possible after refueling. There are no explosives loaded on the bomber, they said.

 

A KC-135 air tanker from Kadena base was supposed to refuel the bomber in the air, but the tanker could not be used because of maintenance problems, according to the officials.

The closure? Norman's SMS after we landed at KLIA:

"Runway 2(32L/14R) was closed for 1hr when 1 aircraft entered closed C6 taxiway and got stuck... They need to tow it."

Great aircraft display at the Singapore Airshow 2010...

 

I'm impressed with Garuda newest B738NG. New interior with IFE in each seats and a very warm welcome from the crew with some freebies from them.

You guys were lucky to be allowed on board the new B738... :clapping:

We were not allowed to go on board during the trade day in Wednesday,

only by invitation... :pardon:

 

Oh well... you win some, you loose a lot... :lol:

 

Anyway... a little bit more of the air display...

 

T50... the one who crosses the line on Thursday and was not allowed to continue..

T50_8772.jpg

 

Aermacchi M-346... another contender in the running to supply advance jet trainer to RSAF...

A346_9133.jpg

 

and of course, the dump and burn from the famous Pig...

High Speed,

F111_9298.jpg

 

and low speed,

F111_9439.jpg

 

However, the air displays were higher and further away from the crowd as compared to LIMA...

those shots using max 200mm with 1.4x TC and cropped kaw..kaw... :p

Excellent shot of the T-50 Norman!! :good: ...love the dump and burn from the 'Whispering Death'as well!!

Thanks Faridz... the only usable shot of T50... heheh, others either blurry or belly shots,

since the restriction of aircraft can't cross the crowd line, you'll get belly when the aircraft

closest to you as it turn away... :sorry:

 

Anyway, somebody asked about the C17 that came whether its the same that came to SZB with Thunderbird

Well it's the similar aircraft in SIN

C17_9514.jpg

 

but not the one that performed the high speed low fly past during the practice day of the Thunderbird.

The F-111 aerial display was cancelled due to technical problem. Not sure if she performed on Sunday though.

Yup precisely, the B738s is simply awesome. The cabin crew told me that this brand new bird is only 3 weeks old. The cabin is simply superb.... :rolleyes:

The best moment for me was the left turn which reached -1G.

If not mistaken it was a T-50 :good:

I think it was the M-346

... my photo up there showing the -1G turn,

most other turns showed the tummy to us... :pardon:
