'One of the best ways to celebrate': RSAF pilot juggles wedding anniversary and NDP flypastPHOTO: AsiaOne/Danial ZahrinAlthough August 9 is a day of significance for Singaporeans, it's an extra special occasion for Major Ervin Ng, whose wedding anniversary also falls on the same day.
"It's very special this year, because both my children will be celebrating our anniversary together as they see me on the flight path. They have been very supportive and excited," said Ng. When asked about his anniversary plans that morning, Ng smiled and said: "It remains a secret, I can't say it here, but it's going to be a surprise for my family."This year's National Day is also significant for Air Force Engineer Jermin Soh, as it will be the first time that his two-year-old daughter will be celebrating the nation's birthday in Singapore.
"We'll probably bring her to Marina Barrage so she can see the flight paths, and hopefully some fireworks."To bring the National Day festivities into the heartlands this year, RSAF will be doing a Fly Our Flag flypast and a Fighter Island flypast in the heartlands before the parade. Speaking to AsiaOne about what goes into preparing the state flag for the fly past, Lieutenant Kameela shared that it takes about 20 personnel to roll up the flag.
These helicopters had previously flown only at NDPs at the now-closed Marina Bay floating platform, which had clearer flight routes.
