Singapore AirShow 2008

I was extremely lucky to have a rare chance to catch
the preview of Singapore Airshow on 16th Feb 2008. The
venue was at Changi Exhibition Centre, near Changi
Naval Base. The morning was partly cloudy and
occasionally windy. Lots of spectators were busy
taking photos with some of the displays.

At about 10.30am, the Black Knights appeared in the
blue sky, getting ready to thrill the spectators with
their daring and spectacular performances. The Black
Knights team flew six F-16C Fighting Falcons in the
red and white national colours. The stunts they did
were simply breathstaking. One of which made my heart
skipped a beat was when two aircraft approached each
other in opposite directions. Imagine the moment when
they crossed each other's path. The other was the
mirror image where one aircraft was inverted and flew
with another to form a mirror image. All these
performances exhibited precise manoeuvres, tight
formations and excellent teamwork.

Their performances lasted about half an hour, followed
by another two aircrafts, possibly from another
countries, which continued to thrill the spectators
with their solo performances in the sky.

If you are a great fan of these metal birds, do try to
catch this bi-annual event before the tickets run out.

I will pose a photo taken during the airshow after 19th Feb.
