Two interesting facts about the show. The total value of the deals done during the week clocked in at a staggering 3,2 Billion Dollars and a hundred thousand public visitors were there on the weekend. Rolls Royce also opened a 700 million dollar engine plant in Singapore during the week. The next show is in 2014 and the event organisers reported this morning on AMlive that it will be even bigger and better than this years show.
The weather played along and was cloudy and cool. Perfect for the outing. Kicked of with the open display followed by a nice breakfast and headed to the inside. There were lots to see in the open area and many displays where you could actually sit in or go inside some of the aircraft.
Here are some of my favourites
The exhibition hall had everything you can think about relating to the aerospace industry with loads of flight simulators, latest aircraft "models" for all the different players in the market, freebies, butterfly garden and, and.........
Finished the inside exhibition in time to move to the outside viewing area for the Flying Display which started at 11h00. The first two 15 minute displays were by two Lockheed F16's from the Singapore Air Force and then 5 Russian MIG 29's from the Malaysian Air Force., the Smokey Bandits. Absolutely festive and awesome.
Then followed the Boeing C17 Globemaster, Rebel 300 solo and finally the Royal Australian Air Force Roulettes with their Pilatus PC-9's. We left after that as you could hardly move and more people were in the queue to enter the show.
This is the before and after photos when we arrived and three hours later. It got really hectic as you can see.
