Hi

Was checking up on the Runway Cycling for this year and found a little information on the static display for this year event.

F15SG on static. I am not too sure if this is true.

SAFRA EVENT

Date: Sunday, 20 June 2010
Venue: Paya Lebar Air Base
Time: 8am (Gate opens at 7am)


cheers

this year no Shimano Polygon bike? :(

Could it be a USAF F-15?

Yes, it's correct.

This will be the first public unveil of the F-15SG.

Some of us would remember the Milnuts outing for F-16D Blk52+ first unveil.....at this event too... That year was a bonus: virtually all the RSAF types were on display.

One more thing.....stated in the rules:
•No telephoto lenses are to be brought into the Air Base.

This year's is a blure colour addition. The 2009 red runway bicycle is still avilable for sale as far as i know. Check out togoparts.com.

I have not been to runway cycling at PLAB before so will i need to bring a bicycle there or walking is fine?

That is your choice to make, it is not easy to cycle there unless you live nearby. Most people piggyback their bicycles onto/into their vehicles to go there for sun and fun.

Options for bicycle carrying devices for vehicles try popular brands Saris or Thule.

Me no vehicle to transport bicycle. So i suppose most MN go to take pictures and not actually riding right?

If so then i will join.

Prepare for wet weather this Sunday.

Hi Bro,
Latest..Cannot join you at the PLAB Runway cycling, NE bound this Sunday. :(

Sad to know that you could not make it this Sunday bro. :(

The rules say no telephoto lens, so if i have a Olympus SP-800UZ compact cam with a maximum focal length of 840mm, is it ok?

Mask away the "840mm"? :rolleyes:

Actually for the compact cam, it just says 30x zoom and 5.0 to 150 mm though the 35mm equivalent focal length is 28 to 840mm so I was just wondering what is their definition of "telephoto lens". Does it apply to DSLR, compact cams or both?

the word telephoto refers to the focal length, regardless what body it is attached to. anything from roughly 70mm onwards (in 35mm format equivalent) is considered telephoto. so 840mm is super super telephoto liaoz :lol:

conversely, anything roughly 35mm and less would be called wide. this naming is because the natural human eye focal length, at around 50mm is considered "normal".

Some pixs of the eagle. The crew on duty were fantastic, bringing us on a guided tour and showing us every nook and cranny of the bird. Kudos to them!

Did you asked what the coffee cup holders are for? :unsure:

They said it was EW stuff.
