It was an amazing blazing afternoon at the Paya Lebar Air Base with the Air-force Sir, Madam as well as fellow bloggers who invited for this Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) open house 2011 bloggers’ preview. Thanks to May Ang from MINDEF Public Affairs and its a great opportunity for me because this was my very first time visiting RSAF open house!!! *Yay*


We was told to proceed to the Officers’ Mess for some food and refreshment, followed by a short presentation given by Sir Ryan on the briefing about RSAF open house 2011 and the place we will be visiting and experience it. Lastly, we proceed on to their conference room to watch a safety tips video before everything get started.

Well, the highlights of the day itself that were Aerial display, Aircraft and weapon systems, air force museum visit, performances and lastly the awesome aircraft rides! This year RSAF theme was “Our Air Force, Defending Our Skies”. *Get ready to scream*



Yeah! I know the weather was burning hot but it was a good weather to see Aerial performance! Aerial display last about 30 minutes long, showing you guys about the featuring aircraft like the F-15SG, F-16, AH-64 Apache and etc… Likewise, you will get to see how the RSAF aircraft integrates with the Army units to repel the enemy forces.





Thus, it also features the Ground-Based Air Defence systems and the SAF Red Lions Parachuting Team. Few performances kept great impact memories in my mind, especially when F-16 flying off from ground. *The sound of F-16 engine make my ears very shiok yoh~* lol
