NTU AeroFest 2011 event on 23 Feb was one of the biggest flying event held. It attracted flyers from all around Singapore to not only show off their skills and aircraft but also to compete among each other for the top prize!
The event also attracted many curious and interested members of the public, students, pilots and even an ex F-16 pilot! Everyone at the event were given goodie bag loaded with many interesting stuff by the sponsors and there was even a free flow of hot dogs and coke!
The event started off at 1330hrs and guest of honour was chairman of NTU Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering school. The event spark off with a big bang and everyone was treated to a 4min aerial display by 2 experience pilots and their funjets that can fly up to a Max speed of 120Km/h! Thereafter, sponsors did some demo flying with helicopters and light aircraft before the main competition starts.
Competition saw many experience pilots and different aircraft types from gliders, jets to 3D aircrafts.
As for us We The Flyers group, we show case our unique formation flying and aerobatics display with our 3 self build F-15s. Our performance wow the crowd and they demanded a encore performance which eventually won us the second place in this event!
If you are interested in seeing us perform again, do look up for more updates as we will be going to organise a fun fly event this coming march!
We would also like to specially thank NTU Aerospace society for organising and giving us a chance to participate in such a wonder fun fly event.
