My Passion - Revisited

There's just something about being at 7000ft that just gets to you.

You're supposed to be shivering out of fear, looking at the distant ground below...
But yet, my pulse was racing, my arteries filled with adrenaline, and butterflies flew around in my stomach...and of course, an ear to ear grin on my face...

There's just something about planes, that transformes me into a small boy...again and again.

Here are some of my best shots, and memories from The Asian Aerospace Exhibition.


RSAF

Boeing AH-64D Longbow Apache


Block 52 Lockheed Martin F16D Falcon

USAF

Boeing F15E Strike Eagle (Soon to be delivered to RSAF in 2008)
Tail code "AK"
3rd Wing, Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska (PACAF)

.
Boeing F15E Strike Eagle
Tail code "MO"
366th WG, Mountain Home AFB, Idaho (ACC)


B1B Lancer "Dakota Demolition"
1st generation stealth technology
Tail code "EL"
28th BW, Ellsworth AFB, S.D. (ACC)


Thats how BIG this sucker is, almost as long as 747.
Those 4 huge F104-GE-102's can suck anything in.


Thats a swing-wing, 4 man crew bomber.
Gorgeous rare beauty.

Of course the day would not be complete,
without me being in the cockpit right.
Emotionally Excited.
Brings back memories. *sigh*

BTW thats a Saab Gripen.

A National Day Preview.

Hot afternoon sun dissipating heat into your skin, thoroughly soaking it with waves and waves of higer end of the light spectrum.
But yet I soldiered on, sweating it out at the water front...waiting for the precise moment, when the twin bladed behimoth would take its slow flight overhead, those two huge turboshafts delivering power to the chopper.
Personally I think these are some of my best shots to date. Hopefully many people share my opinion.
