Its Reeds. And Changi International Airshow, or Singapore
Airshow.
Next AA will be in 2007 at HK.
Like many of the enthusiasts here, I was slightly disappointed with
the airshow. The exhibitors are just going through the motions,
booth displays are downsized by a lot, even Boeing and Airbus
doesn't seem to be trying. Perhaps knowing that they have already
gotten their part of the Singapore pie.
No comments on the flying display, it was not unexpected that
trainers would take the limelight, and I think its actually a
refreshing change from the hard-charging fighters everytime, the
trainers showed us a lot of airmanship. Of course, the A380 was
undoubtedly the focus of the entire show.
To be fair to the businesses, they are there primarily to showcase
their products and make money, not showoff to the enthusiasts.
Behind the facade of the entire airshow, its about signing
contracts and making money.
