The exhibition was very crowded today. Security was very tight and everyone had to pass through metal detectors before being allowed entry into the area. I went together with my Dad and brother.

I wanted to enter the Gripen Fighter Jet cockpit, but the queue was far too long. By 11.15am, there were still at least 30 people infront of us. Thus, we decided to go to the airshow viewing area to wait for the air display to start at 11.30am.

It was cool to see so many fighter pilots walking around. They were in their flight suits which made them look even smarter. It's my dream to be able to wear a flight suit, with a golden wing under my name.

Anyway, the weather was very hot and humid. How nice it would be if the weather here in Singapore were to be cooling. It'd certainly make the exhibition a lot better.

I was also expecting to meet some of my coursemates from SYFC, but I only managed to meet one of them. Probably the others are in other parts of the exhibition area.

The next aerospace exhibition will be held in 2008 by Singapore. The organiser of Asian Aerospace, Reed, is moving to Hong Kong already. Hopefully the Singapore guys can make the Singapore Aerospace exhibition better than Asian Aerospace. :D
