Was there from like 9.30 to 4.30pm. Messed around with lots of
stuff. Went to kachiau the mp9 uncle until he let me cock the
weapon.. whahhah. Its basically a very heavily modded steyr
tmp.
Almost all the armaments there, from pistol to rifle also kachiau
liao. And finally, the whole exhibition i saw something that i
liked. And its the NEWer and lighter Sar-21.
No LAD, not batteries, just a reflex sight on a lighter SAR-21.
Weight abt 3kg unloaded. FINALLY THINGS MAKE SENSE!!
Not very exciting displays from the USAF F-16 and F-15. Usual
stuff, cuban 8, loops, 9g turns, immelman, slow speed handling. 4-8
point turns, knife edge flight, muscle climb. Nothing exciting...
AIRSHOWS REALLY NEED A AEROBATIC DEMONSTRATION TEAM DAMMIT!!!
The only one that was actually somewhat exciting was the tailslide
by the 311, and the steep spin stall by the pilatus pc-21.
Otherwise, the a380 stole the show... I mean talk about a MAJESTIC
entrance. Woo!
When u all check out the static displays, look out for the USN and
USAF makeshift stalls, got some nice looking squadron t-shirts n
polo-t. A bit expensive tho. Expect to pay like $50 for a
polo-t.
Nothing fantastic from the static display. Can't climb into any of
the jets except the nice folks from SAAB. Dam long queue just to
sit in the cockpit of the gripen... too long to interest me.
No-show from Sukhoi, or MiG-Mapo (wadever its called now), No-show
from Eurofighter, nor Dassault.
Overall, well this one just aint fun. I'd give it a miss if i were
u .. unless u really have nothing better to do. A lot of the
promoters weren't very enthusiastic abt the public asking them
questions.. Exception being the USAF and our SAF and ST guys! If it
weren't for them, i think the atmosphere would be quite dreary.
