This is totally random and just for fun. As I explored the airshow site today, I found not only missiles, aircraft and engines but 3 Supermen and a robot too. Catch the pictures below!

This article was written live from the Media Center at the Singapore Airshow, and was first published on the CNBC blog.

It’s searing hot at the Singapore Airshow – combine 34 degree celsius temperatures with 85% humidity and you can start to imagine why my shoe soles started to melt on the tarmac.

Asia is a very hot market too, for aviation. There is sea everywhere, so you can’t really drive, unlike in the United States. Bus services within most countries are not very well developed; and rail networks only work well within countries, like in India. That means every time you need to go to another country, you’re most likely to fly.

Understandably, the region is high on the priority list for the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers. So, who’s leading?

The world’s first tweetup on an aircraft is happening in a few hours time, and it would be on the Bombardier Q400. I have managed to tour 3 out of 4 of Bombardier aircraft and I must say, they are sexy.

For those who haven’t seen them, here they are!

@SimpliFlying and @WillisWee made it down to the Airshow venue today and took some pretty cool photos. Pardon the quality, all taken by an iPhone (: I’m really excited about tomorrow, especially for the Bombardier demo flight. Follow any of us to get live updates as we tweet on and off ground!
