空军开放日 - 周末巴耶利峇空军基地举行
空军开放日又来了 本周末在巴耶利峇空军基地举行
想看空军最先进的F-15SG和F-16C／D型战斗机在我国领空遭“入侵”时如何迅速作出反应，或者想乘坐运输机和直升机飞上云霄，鸟瞰麦里芝蓄水池和我国南部岛屿，今年在巴耶利峇空军基地举行的空军开放日将能让你得偿所愿。
上一次空军开放日是在2008年举行，事隔三年，这次将有更多及更新的战机和配备在开放日上亮相。其中F-15SG战斗机、G550空中预警机、S70-B海鹰型舰载直升机、SPYDER-SR地对空导弹系统以及AMB雷达系统等都是第一次公开让公众参观。
一向最受参观者欢迎的飞行表演，这个星期六和星期日将准时在上午11时和下午4时30分开演。今年空军将与陆军携手合作，呈献一连串地对空以及空对空的精彩模拟战。F-15SG和F-16C／D型战斗机、C-130大力士运输机、阿帕奇（Apache）、契努克（Chinook）、超级美洲豹（Super Puma）直升机，以及鹰式（I-Hawk）和“针”式（IGLA）导弹系统等都将全体出动参与表演。
整个飞行表演长达35分钟。公众可以看到空军人员在接获警报后，战机转眼间就升空拦截“闯入”我国领空的飞机、也可以近距离观赏战斗机和直升机如何与地面部队紧密合作，深入敌营腹地完成任务。

Thrills aplenty at RSAF Open House
Thrills aplenty at RSAF Open House
ALWAYS wanted to find out what it feels like to be in the hot seat of the Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF's) new F-15SG fighter jets? You may just get a chance to, if you visit the RSAF Open House at Paya Lebar Air Base over the weekend.
For the first time, members of the public will be able to get up close and personal with the F-15SG which the RSAF received in 2009 and even climb into the cockpit. But that is not all. Visitors will also get a chance to have a good look at the Spyder-SR ground-based air-defence system and the S-70B Seahawk naval helicopter for the first time.
Heating up the event will be the ever- popular aerial displays. Visitors will not only get to watch the F-15SG and F-16C/D jets take off from the runway, but also hear the rumble of their afterburners as they screech into heart-stopping aerial manoeuvres.
Demonstrations will also be put up by Singapore Armed Forces commandos, who will rappel from Super Puma helicopters, and the Red Lions parachute team. If you are lucky, you could also win a ride in the CH-47 Chinook utility helicopter, the DA-40 Diamond Star training aircraft, or the C-130 and Fokker-50 transport aircraft.
Register by entering a lucky draw which will be held near the main stage of the performance hall at the Open House. About 500 to 600 rides are up for grabs each day.
The RSAF Open House will be held at Paya Lebar Air Base on Saturday from 9.30am to 7pm, and Sunday from 8.30am to 7pm. Admission is free. For details, visit www.mindef.gov.sg/rsafopenhouse

Improved economy makes lavish Mother's Day
Improved economy makes for a more lavish Mother's Day
More mothers spent their special day in style this year, as improved economic conditions allowed consumers to loosen their purse-strings.
On Sunday, many were treated to fine dining, free concerts and museum visits, as well as all the perks businesses could afford for Mother's Day.
Temasek Polytechnic estimates that children spent an average S$200 to S$500 on their mothers this year, a clear turnaround from the recession years.
Industry experts attributed this kind of spending behaviour to better financial and economic health.
"I think in the past, people tended to be more thrifty on occasions like this. But in recent years, there are more and more people actually wanting to celebrate this occasion. Of course, I think maybe when things get better they are willing to spend more," said Mr Samuel Tan Wah Ngui, course manager in retail management at Temasek Polytechnic.
More than 1,500 beneficiaries and residents from various Voluntary Welfare Organisations and grassroots constituencies celebrated at Esplanade with a "Beautiful Sunday" musical presentation of evergreen favourites at the Concert Hall.
Businesses were also more generous with freebies.
Eastpoint Mall in Simei, for instance, held a beauty pageant for the most good-looking mother and grandmother.
Kinki restaurant, meanwhile, launched a search for the hottest mum contest with a trip to Bali as the prize for the winner.
Temasek Polytechnic estimates that while the bulk of the spending would go to dining, it is also a boon time for retailers due to the economic upturn.
