flee 5 Report post Posted May 30, 2011 I was in Singapore last weekend and had a bit of time on Saturday morning. I popped over to the RSAF Open House '11. A huge crowd turned up early and queued patiently for everything! Unfortunately the morning weather was a little wet and cloudy and that spoilt any chances of shooting good photos. Those who were still there in the afternoon had the sunshine, though. Sharing some pix that I managed to shoot. Sorry about the quality!

flee 5 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 TK, I don't think you missed much as only the F-15SG was new. The flying display was quite disappointing, actually. Final part of this event: UAVs - here we see the Hermes 450 (H-450) Gulfstream G550 F-16D Block 52+ AH-64D Apache Longbow AS 332 Super Puma And finally, under the wing of the KC-135 Stratotanker That's all for 2011, folks!

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 Great pics! I really must make the trip to the Open Day one year. Although, I can't complain as the RSAF has been good to me on my last 2 work trips to Darwin with 6 F-15's on the first one and a Herc last week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Black Knight was featured in SAS 2008 but not in SAS 2010. Let's hope they will make a comeback in 2012. Edited June 3, 2011 by Waiping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Ashmil and all you guys for your kind comments. Black Knights were not around, only some lazy flypasts from 2 F-16s and 2 F-15s. I did not have high expectations when I went to the Open Day, but I was a tad disappointed with the aerial display. Sorry, the full length KC135 photos were not possible because it is almost impossible to get a clear shot with the huge crowd that was there. However, I think that this aircraft has already been featured many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashmil Abd Ghani 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2011 Never mind flee, its okey. Me too cant expect much RSAF aerial display since I can see from youtube that Changi operate as usual (Clearly visible aircraft takeoff from SIN!). Lets hope for appearance of Black Knight with their love bite formation. hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
