Airshow is it worth going ?
I have lots of ads for the airshow on the MRT,
Is anybody planning to go ? I looked at the website and it seems to be a more trade focused exhibition rather than something for the "general public"

Never occurred to me to go, but I have come across a number of people - including girls - who are going. Apparently there is an air display at some point

I was going to take EPY boy ...but looking on the website the only attractive thing seemed to be the air display .
But if i go to changi village for lunch i can see that for free

Re: Airshow is it worth going ?
I've been once before. The air shows were very good and they had a lot of cool stuff on show.
Only issue was queuing to get in ... bit of a wait (go early).

EPY - We were thinking the same thing, take the slinks, but when I looked at the website I thought it looked like mostly a trade show too with an aerobatics thing tomorrow and Sunday. Doesn't seem worth the money just for the hour or so of the aerobatics thing. Not sure what we are going to do though.
Edit: hmmm, Changi Village for lunch -- how crowded do you think that will be - i.e. how many others will have the same idea?

Hmmm... the event I went to was the RSAF Open Day... this one doesnt look as good because it seems that all they have is the airshow.

Most children would like these sorts of things. I know I did!
Do you also get to go into aeroplanes or simulators at the show?

Same thing happens in Britain at Farnborough but then it is business that sponsors the event - think the boat show is the same although I have never been to the boat show.expat yorkshire wrote:I have lots of ads for the airshow on the MRT,

Re: Airshow is it worth going ?
My ex (the surviving one) is there, but he is in the trade, says it is good.
"I really love you" she said. "Is that the champagne talking" he asked. "No" she laughed. "That's me talking to the champagne"

Re: Airshow is it worth going ?
This is the replacement show for the one they lost to Hong Kong two years ago or so. It's mainly trade but they do open on the weekends. A friend of mine offered me tickets for the trade part but I didn't go. He said it's mainly for the free drinks anyway if you don't do business there. For a child it's probably still interesting
Re: Airshow is it worth going ?
i think getting there is already a hassel. i dont even want to think about the going home part...
do you think if i were to picnic at changi beach, i can still enjoy the show?

Re: Airshow is it worth going ?
We apparently waited too long to deceide whether or not to go because when I logged on to the website yesterday around 9:30am the tickets were sold out Guess I didn't expect it to sell out - I figured it was at a big enough venue that it wouldn't be an issue.
