Post no. 293
Dear all...
I had the privilege of previewing the highlight of this year's Singapore Airshow...up close and personal, no less...
In fact, prior to the show,i was made to sworn that i will not publish any photos (because of my privilege position of flying with the black knights) taken during the preview flight to the public prior to the show next week.
But while i was on my way home, a friend of mine msg me after she got wind that i went to preview the Black Knights and requested that i show her my exclusive photos...
And since i hate to disappoint my friends...i will publish these exclusive photos here on my blog.
Readers, pls do not tell your friends that im publishing exclusive photos of the Black Knights as
1) im a very private person
2) i do not want to get into trouble with the organisers
And for the very first time... not available anywhere else (until next weekend, at least)... the pictures of the SINGAPORE BLACK KNGHTS in action...
This shot was taken while i was in another F16 infront of the black knights as they enter the airspace over Changi..
This shot is immediately after they flew past the F16 that i was on...
Check this out, i was right beside them...as black knight #5 (flew b Zoe's husband) start to peel off for the chevron roll...
Omg...for this shot, the F16 that i was in was directly above them flying inverted... akin like the mirror pass that Maverick did in Top Gun...
Time to go home after the preview...
As you can see, my shots aint very clear...thats becoz i was using my trusty Nikon 4100... it would have been better if someone would have brought me a Nikon SLR D40... =(
Oh... 2 hours after i got home, my other friend who was at the air show but wasnt lucky enough like me to be flying with the black knights...he called me and lamented that he didnt get a single good shot because of the low clouds today...
In fact, he sent me a shot of what he took...
Sometimes...i think im the luckiest guy in the world.
I'll be attending the Singapore Airshow 08 next week to get goodies and check out some up close and personal photos of the static displays... watch this space next week... =)
Regards
Lucky
- okie, i didnt really took those photos. Those photos are avail on www.mindef.gov.sg/rsaf/blackknights . To really see them in action(pride of Spore),pls go buy tickets. You definately wont be able to catch the show for free this year from changi coast because the place has shifted. =)
