I went to the RSAF Open House today. The second one I’ve been to, since a long time ago… I think that was like 20 years ago when the Hawker Hunter and A-4S Super Skyhawks are still in service and the F-16 was the brand new state-of-the-art new addition.

I went with Chillycraps and he was a little upset everyone was late ranging from 10 – 20 mins. The queue for the free shuttle bus service was damned long and somewhere in between Chillycraps asked me why I did not express unhappiness with the RSAF wasting costly fuel for the Open House while I make noise about the NDP. And frankly, I am not really sure why and I simply told Chillycraps that’s simply because I am an axxhole and I personally thing it wouldn’t be right to me to complain about something I wanted to see.

Anyway, we reached around 1130hrs, after a long wait for the bus @ Eunos MRT. And by the time we cleared security checks, the air show is long since over and the next one is scheduled at 1700. * sigh *

To further dampen our spirits, there was a short downpour which kept us hiding under the wing of the KC-135 for 10 ~ 15 minutes. With nothing much further to see – which is no fault of the Air Force, as they have put up quite a big display of stuff – we just took photos of whatever interests us of the war machines on display and left around 1320pm… to yet another long wait for a bus back to Hougang Interchange this time (because the queue was shorter).

Below is a slideshow of the few pictures I have taken…
