  Very disappointed.

  No new  hard wares.Just few new systems.Many would find boring.

  Just ST Aero there ,with  FanTail 4,Hermes etc UAV .

  ST  Lands ,Marine are absent.

  Look at this.

  Aerial flying ----10.30 am and 5pm

  programes.

  I am sorry.Guys,u have done a good jobs.

  I just tell my comparsions with previouse RSAF and other open houses

  and Air Show.No offences.

  Bring caps,hats,sun glass,water and foods---save TIME and $$$.

  Put your Lucky rides tickets

  (inside the Magazine--Air Force News.)

  inside the Box first .

  Remember the Hotair Ballon at the back.

  Take a photo.very nice even u dunt ride.

  Sad to hear that.

  Apparently it seems that to be the best, an air force must always be throwing money at new equipment every year, isn't it, lionnoisy?

  i wont expect to see new and latest RSAF gear every open house.

  This is not SG style.SG wont feel lose face to buy pre--owned gears

  so long it fit our needs.Old subs is the best example.

  Do u think we cant afford to buy used nuke sub?

  2.Open house is the best time to educate and entertain public,

  local and foreigners.

  I want small arms,etc  shown in Airshow 2008shown

  in RSAF OH!!

  ST Engineering---Land,Ship etc shall be invited to show their products.

  Singapore can produce all hard wares,except few major platforms,

  like sub,new fighters .

  ST aerospace also make UAV,comparable to latest

  USA products,if not better.
  

  look here.They can reuse the Airshow 2008 exhibitions materials,

  never mind they are not perfect.I think public want to see them.

  Disappointing to note that cant get their act right even for a show. Cant imagine what will happen when you have the real thing.
