Children, diplomats visit C919 and ARJ21
A group of children from different schools and diplomats on Friday boarded the home-grown C919 and ARJ21 aircraft on display at Chek Lap Kok for a first-hand look.  Many students told RTHK's Hong Kong United programme that they were particularly happy to have the opportunity to visit the cockpit of the C919. One said he was amazed to see Chinese words on the controls, which he described as a “breakthrough in technology”.  A girl said she was thrilled to find out that the cockpit looks exactly like she had seen in a movie, with so many buttons that she was dazzled. She also said she felt that the seats looked very spacious and comfortable, adding that she hopes to become a flight attendant. Another student described the interior design of the aircraft as "sophisticated". If the weather permits, the C919 will fly around Hong Kong Island on Saturday for a demonstration. The two aircraft will leave Hong Kong on Sunday.
