Asia Aerospace 2008

Asia largest aerospace was held in Singapore and I was there today. Yes!!! I was there on the trade day!!! All thanks to my lovely colleague who gave me the trade show ticket for FREE!!! Today is the last day of the trade show but surprisingly there are still a lot of pple and even the elderly.
Have been to several singapore aerospace event before but there is always no chance of sitting into the cockpit of a plane or even a mock-up plane. Today because is only open to pple with invitation ticket instead of public so the queue is not long and finally I got a chance to sit in a mock-up F35 cockpit!!! First time in my life lei..... Look at the joystick.....does it look like my PC joystick which is a replica of the real F16 lei, haha.....

Although my ticket is by invitation, there is no privilege to board the world largest passenger aircraft, Airbus A380. They said it is fully booked for the day and it is only 10am, the aerospace open on 9:30am. What a pity, I missed A380 2 years ago and not again for this year!!! I promise myself to board the A380 at least once in my lifetime..... and at the moment A380 has daily flight to Sydney operated by SIA.

The static display was not that great this year, and since I still got some time before the air display so I boarded 2 private jet. WOW, the smell of leather from the seat was very strong and there is a mini bar in it, no wonder it is for the rich.




Airshow was great and it lasted for abt 1.5 hrs. As usual, after watching the airshow on every aerospace, I am toasted. Hope I will not have a painful suntan.....
