Yup, we sure can. You can even bring a video camera to film the whole air show.

Visited Aerospace 2006 yesterday. Crowded but good mine for aircraft modelers. Wished similar armor exibition though. Covered the apache, F15 and F18. A must so since it will be the last AA to be held in singapore. Took lots of pic. Planning to start Aircraft modeling soon. so got enough ref. pics.

BTW: Go to EXPO MRT, take shuttle bus to AA 2006. Buy tickets at the entry. 21$ for adult and 7$ for kids. But you have only few hours left as of now :-) :-)

Have a Great day

The show's great... the F15s & 16s were awesome... but I liked the B-1B Lancer more...

Hi newnikionia,

you have a very good website for those pictures...thanks....

What a tank doing in AA in to begin with ?

Is that tank still a conceptual thing or is it already used by some countires ?

Either way, good website...

I suspect the tank was not at AA and was just a reference material from somewhere else.

Great photos. Do you guys have anymore that you can share out? New Zealand doesnt have an airforce let alone aerospace displays. The best we got here is WWII War Birds which costs me an arm and a leg to get down there.

Would appreciate any photos as ive always wanted to attend the annual AA.

Hi Jeremy
They are indeed from AA2006. Including the tank displayed in the UK display hall. There was also yugoimport stall. who does T72 upgardes to make it a T84. This is a the same company which was under scandal regarding the sale of weapons to Iraq during 2002. I met up with the stall and requested for some ref. pics. The gentleman has given his card and contact mail id. He asked me to write to him, I will keep you guys informed if i get anything.

Regarding the photos found in the link I provided, They were all from the AA2006 show. the first two pics (Which shows the turret and gun barrel of a modern tank) was taken from a big poster being displayed. I need to check up regarding the iD of the tank though.

Have a Great Day

So how is the picture progressing? Anyway, AA 2006 was quite good cos its the last one. I could still remember 10 years ago, i took a picture with a blackhawk. The barrier was open so i walk in and snap...me beside a gattling gun (vulcan) by the pylon.
