RSAF Open House

I went with my Dad to the open house. We took a shuttle bus from Hougang Interchange at about 845am, and reached PLAB at around 9am. As it was early, the queues were still short.

Here are the pictures




There were 7 lanes for the security check, we queued up at lane 7




I think both are F-16s


I queued for almost 1hr, and manage to get a feel of the Apache cockpit


The apache pilot was kind enough to explain the helicopter aerodynamics to me in simple terms


Inside the Fokker aircraft


The Chinook. The weather was really hot!

By around 1030am, the sun was scorching. The air display was alright, almost the same as the previous air force open house. I hope to see the F-15SG during the next RSAF open house.

Life, NDP, Fireworks Festival

NDP

For the past few months since June, I had been busy with NDP. Everywhere in camp I hear my peers and superiors talking/breathing/laughing/joking about NDP. From Combined Rehearsal 1 to 6, plus Preview, there were 7 full-dress practices before the actual Aug 9 event. It came and gone, and it's all back to the usual life in camp.


Here's the group of people who set up the entire communications network for NDP. It's amazing how a small group accomplished a mega-scale task.
Upcoming is an overseas exercise to Aussie, another project that requires lots of preparation. That just means more OT...
I can't wait to ORD next Feb!

SG Fireworks Festival

The above are some pictures taken during the fireworks display, taken with a Casio Exilim camera.
The tickets were distributed among NDP participants, and I was lucky to get a pair of tickets during a ballot cause there were insufficient tickets to go around. Other than the spectacular 15min fireworks display, the other show performances were sub-standard. I heard people paid $30-$70 for a pair of tickets in online auctions, it's definitely not worth the money.

20,000
Anyway, I'm very surprised my blog has 20,000 hits. Thanks to everyone who visits it, I promise to update as regularly as I can from now on!
