Just went to the showsite, and caught a sneak of the Flying
Display today, so will post some comments here about what I
saw.
Surya Kiran Display Team - These guys are actually pretty good!
Formation holding was pretty tight, and the routine, while
standard, was pulled off with quite a degree of panache. As for
their planes, imagine Strikemasters painted up in Red Arrows
lookalike colours!
B-1 - One low speed low power setting flyby. A letdown compared to
2002. But I understand she didn't fly yesterday and possibly her
routine is not approved yet. Was supposed to fly again this
(Monday) afternoon but didn't stay to see. Will have to see its
routine again when the show starts.
Mirage 2000 - Not really noticed this before, but this baby can
ROLL!
F-111C - Nice and loud display, a little higher than what I'm used
to seeing a Pig fly at. Heres a teaser: Keep a lookout for the Dump
and Burn! My friends and I were surprised to see the Pig do it at
AA (then again Pigs can fly already)??!! Although a vantage point
at Tekong will be better to see this.
IAI/EADS Eagle UAV - Was it powered? Its flyby sounded like that of
a glider to me. Compared to the noisy Scouts and Searchers I'm used
to 
Thats all about it for now, see the rest for yourselves guys!
PS. Photographers wishing for good shots of the flying display,
don't bother. Sun angle is crap at the display times, you'll get
nothing but shadows. Save the film for the static display and use
the space freed up by leaving the telephoto lens at home for extra
water (lots of it!)
