Great take of the USAF B52 bro, how was the crowd today ?

Cheers.

Crowd wasn't that bad actually. I was there through the day (and got sunburnt, but worth it). The B52 made it worth the while, though I didn't get any really good shots of it.

Very nice shot.

Thanks xtemujin, great fan of your photos of military related events!

Crowd wasn't very bad, probably worse tomorrow.
I was at one of the pavillions' roof shooting so it wasn't crowded.

I saw the fly by in the morning, not sure about afternoon. Very brief and far from grandstand.

E3lipse - You used len >500mm to reach bomber?

They shouldn't have put it as the first plane... Never anticipate the plane to come in from that angle

The bomber flew so close to Tekong.. Wonder if there will be photographers over there.

Nice B52!

Kineticworks : Used a 100 - 400mm lens, i think i shot at 400mm.

Yea! It was really sudden, i was waiting for the F16 from RSAF to show up, and it didn't help that the speakers at the pavillions area were not working. Next moment I saw this huge thing appear and I knew the notice at the security area informing us that the F111 will not fly didn't matter that much anymore.

Currently in Tekong for recourse so i saw the F111 do a U turn over Sch 2 on Wed or Thursday, was quite spectacular!

Photographers in Tekong? Unlikely as it's controlled by SAF

MintChoco : I got a 3 toned tan on my face now, no thanks to my spectacles and my cap. Lol
