Singapore Airshow 2008

first time to the Singapore Airshow @ CEC (changi exhibition centre)

and so the airshow....the love for the sky and the final salute.
it's really v cool, how i wish i am the pilot. but there's one duet piece, the top one is flipped upside down and then both are to maintain 3m apart. that's really amazing, how to fly upside down? and seriously why are airplanes so loud? and so i wiki..

The noise originates from three main sources:
Aerodynamic noise
Engine and other mechanical noise
Noise from aircraft systems

Aerodynamic noise arises from the airflow around the aircraft fuselage and control surfaces. This type of noise increases with aircraft speed and also at low altitudes due to the density of the air.

lunch was superb, thanks to my frenly ddir who got us into a less crowded place for lunch, set up by ST, food by Regent hotel i supp. so needless to say, it's quite a spread and the location is fantastic cos we get to see the air show thru the glass windows and this lunch place is the safest place to be, as there're lines of security/body guards there with the ministers. no wonder so good food. the ministers got the best seat just next to the window. shiok shiok.

and then the contract signing betw caas and stratech for the FOD (foreign object detector).

the indoor exhibits...my fav, korean fighter plane..soo pretty

this is the caas booth which i thought is quite impressive.

outdoor exhibits, with lots of military planes as well as the commercial ones, not forgetting the helicopters too. then me with the airbus 380.
