RSAF openhouse at PLAB

[smallaperture]

Here are a few snap shots.

The Black Knight colour against the blue sky. Blue sky not for long, before the downpour, more appropriately called the Deluge.


Nose view of my fav bird


Yet another view of the same bird


My 18-70 lens could cover this Chinook. Dun quite need a WA.


Control tower/Observation post - 2 men on duty up there, with their bino - guess what are they staring at?


Still processing my Action shots.

Wow.. Nice and upclose. Btw, what focal length is this?

[Singer high]

Woah, nice catch!
I didn't see the F-16D flying. It wasn't part of the aerial display, was it?

2 F16, 2 F5E, 3 Apahce, 1 Chinook, 2 superpuma, 1 C130 with red lions were in the aerial display.

But F16C and F16D, what's the diff ?

yap... 16C not D... and yesteday's afternoon show are 2 F16C 641 and 613...not 664... hmmm....

[Singer high]

F-16C is single seat, F-16D is two-seater. RSAF F-16Ds are the even more advanced Block 52+ version, can tell by the dorsal spine and conformal fuel tanks as seen in smallaperture's photo.

The two F-16s in the aerial display are single seat F-16Cs. So I'm wondering when did smallaperture catch the D flying.

[rennn]

Hmmm yeah, I didnt catch the D, nor the D+ flying either. This bird should've just took off, can see its landing gears are folded but its doors yet to close. I like the first pic. Red, white, and blue!

Lens used was a Sg100-300F4 and then extensively cropped, that is why the shot is a bit soft. More info of this lens here http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=200389

Din get to shoot the aerial display due to very, very bad weather. So, dug out my archive from 2years ago, the last RSAF openhouse.

Your query answered, I guess.

Well, I upped the saturation to get better colours in the first pic.
