Singapore Airshow 2012

I attended the Singapore Airshow 2012. It felt fantastic to be back to such an event after missing it 2 years ago. One of the crowd turners was the aerial display. I thought the event organisers did put much effort in getting the best from around the world to deliver the highlight of the event.

The aerial display consists of the F15 & F16, the Globermaster C-17, the Smokely Bandits & the Roulettes. All displayed great maneourves. I always had great admiration for the teams' aerial display, as such performances usually require close coordination & significant training.

One other important element is the great amount of trust each member has of their fellow team mates & the leader of the pack. Flying at such close distances, the most difficult task is not for them to learn to follow closely. Instead, it's the trailing team members who need to have complete faith that the leader will lead the way, fly the intended path & give the precise commands.

Often than not, we as humans, are full of suspicions. Indeed, how can we learn to less wary?
