Thunderbirds

Alvin's been a loyal fan to the Thunderbirds since he was kid.. He could only watch them from the tv screen..

Until 2 weeks ago,

THEY CAME!

His childhood dream was finally fulfilled..

He was bugging everyone in college to accompany him to watch the Thunderbirds.. I was one of his victims..

At first, my only thought about Thunderbirds is this.


Soon after, i found out that they were this.


The Thunderbirds are from the USA air force. They do aircraft demonstration to not only show the capabilities of the F-16 but also to show the teamwork and the dedication that the airmen in the USA air force possess.

Yuan Hui, Brian Mok, Hannah, Chew and I were Alvin's company for the day. We didn't know the way to the R.M.A.F. and we got caught in a jam which was at a standstill. We parked at the roadside and decided to walk there. We got information about the whereabouts of this place and we found out that it was 8 km for where we were!!! We had high spirits then and didn't mind the distance so we MOVED ON.

After an hour plus of walking we finally reached... Luckily, the show was just about to begin.

Ever wonder why the number 5 on the aircraft is upside down?
Well, it is because the plane is upside down most of the time throughout the demonstration!

More pics to come..
