Visitors to the air force Open House over the weekend will get to experience Singapore's air defence power upclose, including a chance to ride on aircraft such as the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Thirty lucky readers will get a rare opportunity to take a ride in a Chinook CH-47 military helicopter at the Singapore Airshow next month. -- ST FILE PHOTO: CHEW SENG KIM



Thirty lucky readers will get a rare opportunity to take a ride in a Chinook CH-47 military helicopter at the Singapore Airshow next month.

Winners of a Straits Times Appreciates Readers (Star) contest, in a tie-up with the event organiser, will also get four tickets each to the event.

The fourth edition of the Singapore Airshow, which is held every two years, will take place from Feb 11 to 16 at Changi Exhibition Centre, near the airport.



The first four days are reserved for trade visitors. Members of the public can visit on Saturday and Sunday.

The 20- to 30-minute Chinook flight will be organised at Changi Airbase on Saturday, the first day the show opens to the public.

Other highlights this year include aerobatic flying displays from the Black Knights of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), which is marking its 45th anniversary this year.

Black Eagles, the display team of the Republic of Korea Air Force, will mark its South-east Asia debut at the Singapore show.

Pilots will fly the T-50 aircraft, a supersonic jet created by Korea Aerospace Industries.

More than 70 commercial and military planes, including the Airbus 350, which has not entered into commercial service, will be on static display. Big names in the business jet market like Bombardier, Cessna, Embraer and Gulfstream will also showcase their sleek flying machines.

At the RSAF pavilion, visitors can expect fun activities like aviation-themed games.

Touted to be one of the top three airshows in the world, after France's Le Bourget and Britain's Farnborough, the Singapore event drew more than 90,000 public visitors when it was last held in 2012.

Mr Jimmy Lau, managing director of organiser Experia Events, said his team is delighted to work with The Straits Times.

Straits Times deputy editor Zuraidah Ibrahim said: "Human flight is more than a century old, but the thrill never seems to wane. The Straits Times reported the very first plane to land in Singapore and today's readers still look forward to seeing the latest machines."

Airshow tickets are on sale at Sistic at $22 for an adult and $9 for children between the ages of three and 12. Sistic also charges a booking fee of $3 for each adult ticket and $1 for each child.

Kopisai, did you even get to wear green? Why should sitting in the fucking CH-47 give you orgasm?
 
The Chinook is a multi-mission, heavy-lift transport helicopter. Its primary mission is to move troops, artillery, ammunition, fuel, water, barrier materials, supplies and equipment on the battlefield. Its secondary missions include medical evacuation, disaster relief, search and rescue, aircraft recovery, fire fighting, parachute drops, heavy construction and civil development.

Chinook helicopters were introduced in 1962 as the CH-47 Chinook, and models A, B and C were deployed in Vietnam. As the product of a modernization program, which included refurbishing existing CH-47s, the first CH-47Ds were delivered in 1982 and were produced until 1994. A central element in the Gulf War, they continue to be the standard for the U.S. Army in the global campaign against terrorism. Since its introduction 1,179 Chinooks have been built.
 
be careful..ensure you have full insurance...many crashes & malfunction, the Chinook.
flying coffin.
 
I use to take CHINNOK,super puma and UH during my infantry days. When it comes to reservist, i took CHINNOK.

Those were the days where we lug the heavy equipment onto the chopper. Night mission start from 8 pm and be at FUP by 6 a.m. Then launch attack and capture by 12 p.m .

I hate missions. Some slept half way when we are doing tactical halt. It always the case. We must wake our buddy up. Some simple give up walking.
