The F-111 air display wasn't until after 11am!

Silverarrowz do you have any pics of the C-130/B707 form flypast?

[cowie165]

And they are great pics. You must have some super macro on your camera or ultra hi-res to grab a shot of a jet in such good focus yet correctly exposed! Nice work.

That thing's huge!

Nice pics on that link

[cowie165]

I agree, great pics in the link. I was actually hoping for a C-130 formation pic - the one above is a C-17

His callsign was Wiki12. I still don't know what that word means!

[cowie165]

And the local paper said the Edge540 has a 27L engine with 325,000hp.

I was rather impressed by that power:weight

They also said the Catalina and KC-135 displays impressed the crowd! Shame the Catalina was broken and the KC-135 never left Singapore! Journos, grrrr.

DOH! Sorry, my bad. Brain's just not functioning lately.

I had a few C130 pics but they didn't turn out good. I shoot with a digital SLR and had a long lens, atleast I thought it was until that day.

I'd LOVE a DSLR! Hats off, I'm still slumming it with an old EOS. I thought the pics turned out quite well considering the shutter speed for the flypasts and the low cloud.

:lol: @ all the guys with the big lenses, I know what you mean.... whaddaya mean 300mm isn't a 'real' lens??

[Silver-Arrowz]

My old man has a film SLR too, an EOS also. Not sure what it is. I'd like to one day get into film also and learn about producing films in darkrooms, etc... Digital is kinda too easy because you can take a billion shots and not worry if they're good because you can delete them. Film would make you more selective.

I was so envious of the guys with white lenses. 400mm plus... I should've rolled them.
