We are heading to the Hangar of China Aircraft Services Ltd. The first impression was their Security. We have to present our ID card one by one for cross checking at the entrance. Neither photo nor video taking in the plant was allowed. The escort team was led by the General Manager of Base Maintenance Department, Mr. Trevor William Crow. After a briefing at the meeting room, we were guided to visit their maintenance workshop which was arranged in cellular units with contemporary testing equipment. Besides carry out maintenance for air craft, the workshop also served as training ground for their own technicians. When we passed by the canteen, we were astounded by a must-see sea view ---- the sight could reach Macau! We take the opportunity to thank Mr. Crow and his crew for this wonderful tour.
