RSAF Open House 2008

[La Fontaine]

would like to know if tripod allow?

In the last openhouse, I remember seeing one or two tripods around.

But in broad daylight, do you really need to carry that tripod? Dun tell me you got shaky hands due to too much cafeine.:sweat:

 

[Magede]

guess tripod's for timer photography wif urself in front of the aircraft on display

 

[Daedalus Trent]

well, you could ask a friendly NSF to help you snap a shot (i hope they're friendly..) :bsmilie:

Do head early if you want to take photos of the E2C hawkeye as it'll be the last time we will see it at the RSAF open house.

RSAF has acquired four new Gulfstream G550 jets, which will assume the E-2C Hawkeye aircraft's airborne early warning role and the new aircraft will be in Singapore by 2010.

How long is the travel time for bus number 90 from Toa Payoh to the PLAB ?

Heard on Power98 FM - Shuttle bus from Hougang, Eunos and Toa Payoh interchange, that is to say 3 locations, one more than the 2 announced earlier.

I guess without stops, from Toa Payoh, it should take 20mins, or at most 30mins due to jams along Airport Rd.

[xtemujin]

Thanks for the heads up about the journey time.

I'm not too sure if there'll be a free shuttle bus service from Toa Payoh interchange.

As xtemujin has quoted above, by 4 Gulfstream G550s. The configurations should be the same as used by the IAF.

 

[Daedalus Trent]

:sweat: Can't believe I didn't see that. how embarrassing :sweatsm:

 

[Daedalus Trent]

hmmm...aviation enthusiasts have reported seeing the aircraft in Singapore airspace few months back!:bigeyes: Could they reveal it in the Open House? ;p

 

[harper]

erm, hope so... but think will be rather low chance...
