Yeah, went to uav command today. this site visit is actually part of the temasek seminar. we have to visit a site that is under SAF, and we were lucky enough to be able to enter the gate of this command of RSAF.
It was so cool, to see uav searcher planes zooming above us, with the loud and thunderous sound every now and then. and wat is more amazing, they are all unmanned planes that cost at least 2 mils. they are drived by pilots on land, in a control station. so we visited the control rooms too. we saw how trained officers handle with all the confusing buttons and gadgets when flying the planes. we were so fascinated by their professionalism.
Can u believe it? i got a chance to fly the plane! haha... not the actual one, but tat in the simulation room for trainees. 4 ppl tried, 2 from PJ and 2 from NJ. glad tat i wasnt the one who didnt land the plane. however, i crashed my plane twice and finally landed on the third try. all thanks to the officer pilot next to me who guided me all along.
It was a fun and enjoyable trip, wat's most important is, i managed to get all 19 participants to go for this visit, despite of the disappointment i got from the great number of absentees for the past few meetings. really a great thank to evryone, especially when they have to forsake their chemistry mock. and also, arigatou to jian lin who helped me to persuade wei wen to come along and also helped me to distribute survey forms to some missing souls. but i guess he was more than willing to help, cost he is SC--- Student Councillor and Same Class as me!!! haha... :D
