SETTING A RECORD AT THE THIRD

AVIATION RUN

The aviation community stood shoulder to shoulder to set the record for the largest human formation of an airplane in the Book of Records.

The Singapore aviation community exhibited solidarity and commitment by turning up in full force and claimed a space in the Singapore Book of Records for creating the “Largest Human Formation of an Airplane”. The over 2,000-strong crowd came together to take part in the third Aviation Run held at the Changi Exhibition Centre on 16 November 2013 to help the less fortunate.
