TK , first one challenger 300 , rego 9M-TAN , second one Falcon 900 ... soon to come , Legacy ...

 

C-130J , nice crew that spent half an hour taking us for a quick tour and some of his experiences on this Hurricane Hunter .

This J version features a glass cockpit , unlike the old steam gauge tech of the classics

 

The interior of this C130J , it only has two columns with some instruments for their hurricane hunting

 

Getting a better look at the Collins systems on the Challenger

 

From the flight deck of the Legacy ..

 

Bell 412EP coming in to land

 

Something familiar to our RMAF ... the CASA 235

[TK 0]

CN-235 looks familiar...but she got better nose.

 

Rockwell Collins Pro Line series..make's life very easy

[Simon 3]

Is that a 'Remove before flight" strip above the 'AIRBUS' word?

Hi Simon. Nope...the strip is a sticker behind that wind sensor thingy.

I think i have not seen this angle before. Nice short finals pic

[Hoe Jyh 0]

Here's some of my static pix that I've processed so far

 

Having only seen these awesome experimental setups and stations in books and on the internet, it was really a dream come true for me to see an actual flight test setup, which is in this case, in the A380.

 

A comparison shot between the F-16 and WC-130J showing the great difference in nose profiles

 

Another nose, this time of the Indonesian Air Force CN235-220MPA

 

Deeply impressed with the full glass cockpit of the WC-130J, complete with HUD!

 

Very honoured that the 2 Italian pilots showed more interest in us than the whale to their right

 

Spot some very familiar faces here?

[Ignatius 4]

Nice NIce , the only face i recognise is KC and Raj hehehe... the last one really stand behind all the bright and darksiders.. he must have had all the zoom power in that tiny PNS to stand furthest behind all of them Excellent cockpit shots there, didn't manage to get inside the dugong's cockpit, came in too late during the last day of the trade days..

With all due respect to the owner, but I can't... sTOP.. LAUGHING!

 

 

Nice one Iggy on the short finals of A380 with all its gears down... the gears look like a bunch of grapes, hehe..

The Republic of Singapore Airforce Aerobatic Team "Black Knights" was reformed for the Singapore Airshow. This is the 12th team.

Some of my shots of the Blacks Knights, who are made up of pilots from the 3 F-16 squadrons. Enjoy!

 

Delta flyby

 

Swan roll

 

Twisted loop......start

 

...over the top.....and

 

...recovery.

 

The Palm split

 

These passes gets the woos and wahs from the crowd

 

Running in for the needle cross

 

Way of the Dragon

 

Mirror pass

 

Slow speed pass........followed by....

 

.....afterburner climb

 

Flaming heart

 

A sneaky high speed pass that caught the crowd by surprise

 

The finale: Curtains

 

The length of display of the normal display is 19 mins 30 secs.

 

On the last trade day, the Black Knights paid a tribute to a fallen comrade who lost the battle against cancer.

This is the missing man formation. This flypast was not rehearsed.

 

[Irni Mastura 0]

Superb shots, Kwek! WOW!

 

 

Look at the contrails over the leading edges of the wings during the recovery from the twisted loops! Fuh fuh! AND THE PASSES! WHOAA...! Mirror pass was awesome too!

 

 

But.. it was sad to hear about the fallen comrade

 

 

[Ignatius 4]

Wah Kwek Kwek, nice worr... but too bad didn't bump into you on Friday, I guess your sunblock can't take it any longer hehehe

Here's some other shots of the static displays...

 

F15 taken on the last public day, one of the two F15 displayed had left I reckon, giving me the chance to shoot this one as it is

 

SupaHornet

 

And this EuroCopter EC135P-2 on its desperate lift-off from the hungry mobbing spectators!!!!!

[Simon 3]

Very very nice la...Kwek

 

Many thanks for the shots of the warbirds.
