Flying high at the Singapore Airshow

F-16 jets of the Singapore Air Force aerobatics team perform a maneuver during the media preview of the upcoming Singapore Air Show on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014. Asia's largest aerospace gathering is usually a "show and tell" event where executives come to mingle with some of the world's biggest long-haul carriers and Asia's ambitious new travel tycoons, as well as the region's busy military buyers.

The show opens Feb. 11 and runs through Feb. 16, 2014, at the Changi Exhibition Centre.
