The last time i did something for the first time...







… was to go to the Boeing factory. As my father is working in SIA, on our trip to Seattle, we go to visit the Boeing factory. In there, there are many models of airplanes and rockets. Wow! You might say, “boring!!!” Well, let me tell you that we got to stand beside the tail fin or also known as vertical stabilizer of the new Boeing 787 DREAMLINER. We also got to see how it was built and sit in the cockpit of one of the planes. Oh ya! We also got to touch one of the engines of the plane. Cool right!

After looking around at the exhibition, it was time for us to go on a special tour to the real factory itself to take a look at the assembly line. Upon stepping in, I was so excited. The guide then told us about how the plane was to be built and when it would be ready for commercial use. We then made our way back to the exhibition hall. We decided to stay for a while more. As we were looking around I chanced upon a simulator ride. I asked my Dad to let us go on it.

Only two people were allowed at a time so my brother and I went first. We soon found out that this was sort of a computer game whereby we are supposed to destroy the enemies. I got to control the jet while my younger brother got to do the shooting. We also got to know that we could do 360-degree barrel roll (that meant that we were hanging upside down). Double cool. Guess how many we did? Well, we did so many that we lost count! It was so interesting! During the rolls, we could feel our legs dangling! After going for a few more rounds, it was time to go. Great day!
