RSAF Open House '11

Recommended Posts

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!

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)

And finally, under the wing of the KC-135 Stratotanker

That's all for 2011, folks! :drinks:

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

He He, Huan, bravo for covering this event for VNAS. Some comments:

1/ you should use your real name Huan in this MW forum

2/ use the image hyperlink instead of the thumbnai one.

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.

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.

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.
