our journey: TUDM Open day

Assalamualaikum wbt…

Apa khabar semua tak kisah berada kat mana, kedah, selangor, johor, sarawak…semoga korang semua sihat2 juga. thanks for spending time to visit this blog..something about my life recently…

Here, I want to highlight new event that I have visited last saturday on 6 november 2010..wow…this is the event that I ve waited for ages, watch and touch live aircraft…yes..TUDM Butterworth open day..
Before this I didn’t have much luck to visit aircraft display such as this. Last event that I have went in my life is LIMA 2005 and LIMA 2003 (my 1st year study).

I am very excited until I hope the day is faster on friday (5 nov), because this day is deepavali holiday..when I am busy preparing the house for my two beloved person, sayang n naqib, I hope the day went fast so that saturday comes faster…

On 8am, 6 nov 2010, I wake up early, around 630-700 am…usually I will put my phone to alarm me at 7.30 am (work days also apply..hehe)..but today, I wake up and quickly bath myself..after I start the engine of my myvi, me myself hope that sayang and naqib was here, with me, so that three of us can go together and I can show them what I am enthusiast for in my years study in aerospace engineering and also my work at my former school…

I ve went with my friend, rashid, a sarawak boy..

we arrived there around 10.30 am, and at first glance, I am very surprised with the cars parks along the side road towards tudm base. Wow! What is so suprising, how did they knew about this event even though there are no publicity either from media, internet or others…so how did I knew about this event? eventually my student have approach me 2 weeks before asking permission to borrow school property to go for a display task for tudm open day…fortunately I knew about it, abd of course ive set my date for this tudm open day. enough…

GOING INSIDE

After I ve parked my car in one of the fenced tudm facilities, I walked around 1 minutes and arrived at the main gate. what I noticed is, I saw 2 big banner that inform the open day event and the date and time. only that banner, and this event have attracted thousand crowds… I also noticed, visitors walk fast to the event that is located around 4 minutes that is around their hangar..wow! these people really excited, bringing their children, wife, old people to the event just to see fighter airplanes..
The guard have checked my slr bag to see if there is anything in that bag, and not missed, metal scanner to scan dangerous things on my body…

INSIDE

the event have been divided onto three area..booth..real aircraft static display and airshow..
There are many agencies for the booth exhibition. some come from Jabatan Pertahanan Awam, TUDM them self, F 5 squadron showing their aerial imaging, missiles, cannon, motorbike, scaled aircraft model, 100 years Malaysia flight, and many more…
Below are the images that ive taken using SLR…
