Thanks for the schedule.

There is still no news of who will be performing at the airshow.

On An Aerobatic High

Daring aerobatic flying teams take to the skies above the Changi Exhibition Centre turning it into a stage. These daredevil pilots will push their machines to the limit, performing amazing aerobatic stunts that require extreme concentration and split-second timing. Be wowed by the sheer elegance of the spectacular planes and let the extreme flying machines take your breath away.

Aerobatic flying teams and performance times will be confirmed soon. Do visit this page again for updates.

I had tried to reconnaissance the area around Changi Exhibition Centre for potential spotting location but found out apparently the entire area was supposedly "private property" with a security checkpoint, manned by shopping centre type malay enciks, at the junction of Aviation Park Road and Changi Coast Road.

Right click on the above embedded video and watch on youtube for full HD (1080p) version.

You simply have to admire the rugged characteristic of the these former Soviet Union aircraft. If that was a Airbus or a Boeing commercial airliner which got stucked in the mud you'll have a team of engineers swamping the aircraft and giving it a through inspection, neither will the pilot be allowed to advance the throttle to breakaway thrust (as was the case in the An-124 video) and it will have to towed instead.

Crazy ivans doing what they had always been doing. :bigeyes:

Il-62 (R/N. DDR-SEG, C/N. 31403) had been parked there ever since.

Parked there ever since??? The clip looks very old. Why did they not use the aircraft?

The video was shot on the 23rd of October 1989 when the former Interflug Il-62 (DDR-SEG) "Lady Agnes" was flown to a 900m grass airstrip at Stölln/Rhinow to be preserved as a museum.

From time to time the final flight of a retired commercial airliner or a military aircraft destined to be preserved as a static display for future generations could just end on an aerodrome where one would have thought a landing on the runway to be nearly impossible. Take for example the two South African Airways B747-244B (ZS-SAN) "Lebombo" and B747SP-44 (ZS-SPC) "Maluti" donated to the South African Airways (SAA) Museum Society for static display at the Rand Airport in Germiston, South Africa.

Amazing video.. can see the aircraft director scrambling like crazy to get out of the way of that Vodka burner :bsmilie: The Airbus A400M can do this too though. Its designed for soft-field. Not sure if the C-17 can do this.

I can only imagine what was going through the mind of the ground marshaller at the time, probably "OMG, it's starting to move". :bsmilie:

As a military transport aircraft, ability to operate from unprepared runways is a must though if the aircraft was stuck similarly in the ground, careful considerations have to addressed with regards to a safe extraction of the aircraft as you wouldn't want to risk damages to the undercarriage or possible FOD ingestion when breakaway thrust is applied.

SIA A380-800 (9V-SKA) Pusback Incident At WSSS, Taxiway Whiskey Alpha.
AAIB (MoT), Final Report ID No. AIB/AAI/CAS.046 (2009.03.11).

A read for those that are interested.

As some of you guys are well aware of the airspace closure that will come into effect 5 minutes before, after and during the aerial display practices, combined rehearsal and on the actual days of the aerial display itself, here are some preliminary information that will hopefully give those people who does not wish to pay for the Singapore Airshow a clue on where to position themselves for perhaps maybe a couple of shots of the participating aerial display aircraft.

Aircraft participating in the Singapore Airshow both in the aerial and static display will utilise RWY 02R/20L at Changi Air Base (East) whereas aircraft participating only in the aerial display will be utilising RWY 02L/20R as they will be park at Changi Air Base (West) instead. Departure of commercial airliner will only be permitted from RWY 20C to minimise flight disruption and to maintain a safe separation distance between the commercial airliner and the aerial display aircraft over at the Changi Exhibition Centre.

These will be a three way coordinated choreography between the ATC towers at Changi Airport, Changi Air Base (East) and the Changi Exhibition Centre.

Hi guys, I have updated the guide for outdoor plane spotting locations at WSSS with a set of newer images from Google Earth along with some minor corrections, kindly please direct any "where is the photos taken?" inquires to the two postings, thank you.

I have also indicated landmarks that might interest aviation enthusiasts, feedbacks and suggestions are very much welcome.

Best will be the beach next to CP6 before the ferry terminal to Batam, Msia etc..

Thank you !:lovegrin::lovegrin::lovegrin::lovegrin::lovegrin:

Now all plane spotters knows when to plane for that momentic shot!

i would wanna download those call outs with project magenta. But need FSUIPC. Do you know where to get a free version for that?

Those anyone in the forum knows anybody who have made a 737NG simulator?
