Asian Aerospace 2006

Today I went to the last Asian Aerospace 2006 to be held here in Singapore. It will be shifting to Hong Kong after this. Thanks to BB, we got complimentary tickets! THANK YOU BB!

We all met up at 9am at Pasir Ris MRT. The crowd was still small and boarding of the shuttle bus to AA06 was smooth. We arrived at AA06 at last after 1 hr from boarding the bus at Pasir Ris MRT and the stringent security screening. Better safe than sorry. To all the security personnel there, a big thanks for your efforts to keep the place safe & sound.

Ok... the AA06 was not too fantastic for me.... firstly, several of the booths at the trade halls were closed and those that were open, most of them were sooo bloody stingy in giving souveniers esp. the collar pins. Some of them would just say they only have souveniers for kids. To top it off, the personnel giving the soveniers had the cheek to openly trade pins with people from other booths when they just told the public that they had no more pins!!! So what the bloody hell are you doing at the souvenier booth? To collect the pins for yourself so that you can trade with others? Bloody ass&^%$#! So with regards to that, AA06 was totally unsatisfactory.

With regards to the aerial display, it was not too fantastic either, except for the F-15 and the eagerly awaiting Airbus A380. Only those two aerial dsiplay were worthwhile. The others were just so-so.

With regards to the static display, if you are not a fan of static display, then the internet would give you a much better information and images than AA06. Only several of the planes allowed people to sit in the cockpit. Most of them were just viewing from afar. For me, the static displays were quite alright cos you get to see the real thing and get a feel for yourself just how huge and magnificent these man-made inventions are. Simply amazing!

So if you are gonna spend money to go see AA06, don't expect it to be yr money's worth. Luckily I had good company to be with and got a complimentary ticket... so it was on the whole a good time out with friends :)

So for the AA06, I will give it 4.5 out of 10, mainly because I had good company...else it will just be 2 out of 10.
