Airshow 2010

On a lazy weekend, HQ treated us to the 2010 airshow.

Look at the long snaking queues.

Even after entering, there's still a lot of ppl.

We were a little late cos I went to the wrong meet up point, ha ha and the main highlight of the air show was already in the sky.

A display of the agility of the Apache and the flight prowess of the F-16 fighter jet.

A group photo before we move indoors away from the sweltering sun.

First thing that we did indoors was to look for the lucky draw box. Wa ha ha typical Singaporeans that we are... ...

Other exhibits in the exhibition halls. However it was already quite empty being the third day of the airshow. Anyway, their targeted audience were the various defense ministers from all over the world and not us.

Unmanned Surface Vehicle. I heard from HQ that this model was used as surveillance boats by the Singapore Navy when there were sent in to Somalia to help monitor the pirates problem earlier this year.

Sheena got her hands on the only freebie that day.

I wonder is this a concept model or is this already in use on their flights. I wouldn't mind flying in one of these.

Took a ride in one of the anti-bombardment personnel transport vehicle. Quite a squeeze with no windows, gives u a claustrophobic feeling.

Suddenly, we saw a lot of movement from one corner of the hall, guess who decided to drop in? A pity he was surrounded with so many bodyguards, we couldn't get up close for an autograph or something.

We decided to move outdoors again to view the static displays.

Blamer die die also want to take a pic with some pilots. This guy's from Australia.

Another unmanned surveillance device, for the skies this time. I wonder will there come a time whereby all planes are unmanned and war will be just like playing online battle games.

Spotted another public figure.

And Blamer finally fulfilled her dream of taking a pic with a Singaporean pilot. Maybe she is trying to find herself a spare tyre.

Back to Changi terminal 3 for lunch. We were famished!

Our spread. All of us ordered their soup pasta, which was something different from the norm and a udon pizza to share.

One of the rare times when we remembered to take a group pic with food still on the table.

As it was still near to Valentine's Day, love is in the air!
