Today, 23 days after the incident, I\u2019ve decided to publish it partly in a way to continuously promote the fact that \u201cflying is safe\u201d and also as a tribute to the aviation heroes out there participating in the Search and Recovery (SAR) effort of MH370.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#PrayForMH370<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After attending the Singapore Airshow in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/index.php\/2010\/02\/07\/singapore-air-show-2010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2010<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/index.php\/2012\/02\/19\/singapore-airshow-2012-another-awesome-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2012<\/a>, I wasn&#8217;t really keen to make another trip to the Singapore Airshow. Especially after reading the list of static aircraft displays and exhibitors scheduled for public days appearance. However as I was in JB the same weekend, I decided to make a quick hop across the border anyway to check out what the 2014 edition has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>I am a fan of airliners and therefore I find that 2014 Singapore Airshow public days were a bit dull as it was more skewed more towards military planes and business jets. Nevertheless it was still a good way to spend a couple of hours with my other half.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the photos of the airshow:<\/p>\n<p>Public day crowd, as early as 10am.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/1132.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/1132.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"954\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1132.jpg 954w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1132-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1132-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We came just in time to witness the amazing aerial display.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2102.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2102.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"954\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2102.jpg 954w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2102-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2102-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/347.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/347.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"954\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/347.jpg 954w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/347-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/347-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/527.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/527.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"954\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/527.jpg 954w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/527-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/527-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/428.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/428.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"954\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/428.jpg 954w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/428-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/428-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One thing I learned from previous editions of Singapore Airshow is the best time to queue at any aircraft display\/cockpit visit is during the aerial display.
