I had the great opportunity to take a few photos (actually quite a whole lot) of the RSAF Open House Aerial Display. Had to borrow a huge zoom lens, but the photos turned out pretty great.
The aerial display is a thrilling and exhilarating 35 minutes showcase of the our RSAF air power at work. It depicts our Island Air Defense, Close Air Support and Joint Operations. It features the F-15SG, F-16C, AH-64D, CH-47D and Super Puma in joint operations with the Army and also the Red Lions Military Free-fall and Fly-Past by SYFC’s DA-40.
