Subsonic boom

So I was packing things in the study when I heard jet planes coming in to land at Paya Lebar Airbase. Nothing unusual since the flat's directly under the flight path. However the engine sounded very different. More muffled, not as sharp as the usual F5's. Didn't have the propeller drone of the C-130's. Piqued, I glanced through the window and caught the tail silhouette. Two tail fins, twin engine exhaust. Unmistakably the F18 Hornet. Altogther 6 of them.

Looks like either the Yankees or Aussies are here for the weekend.

Protecting delegates for the IMF World Bank meet? Go figure...

Urgh! IMF season. More work and more inconvenience for the rest of us.

But! More, hopefully good-looking men, for eye-candy! Heh!
