Abbas bin Firnas not flight of ICARUS

Ilmu ialah untuk semua manusia tak pedulik sapa korang....Jadi kita tak senang2 kena bodoh2  ngan sapa2 pun.

Long overdue, but for those interested this is the "Pioneers Of Flight" section of the most interesting exhibition called Sultans of Science. It was held at one of the Singapore's Science Centre halls.
Maiden fans cant get away from the myth and the sad legend of Icarus, and the history of Kill Devil Hill. But maybe not many are aware of more to it than that, 
this section of the exhibition focus on 9th Century Spain when Abbas Bin Firnas successfully glides in the first recorded flying machine. He was 70 years old then.
This are photos of every single exhibit in the flight section of this exhibition. The exhibits are mostly in English, so if you click on each photo on this post, its self-explanatory on the history of flight.



Pameran Sultan Of Science ni, cakap melayu dia apa eh? Ni pameran aku tengok kat pusat sains Singapura, dah basi dah pun... Aku pemalas nak upload.
ialah lebih kepada menunjukkan bijak pandai orang Islam dulu2. Kepakaran sains umat Islam yang mengubah dan mempengaruhi seluruh perjalanan dunia. Cehhhh... cam real je aku berbual.
Macam aku cakap masa aku gezek pameran ni tunjuk model kapal besar giler tu dulu,
aku ingat ni pameran cuma nak angkat orang arab tapi tak ok, ni tunjukkan kepandaian kepakaran keterroran orang Islam zaman dulu, bukan je orang Arab, cina Islam pun semua ada, pakaliao.

Jadi balik kepada sejarah penerbangan Abbas Bin Firnas kat Sepanyol dulu abad 9 dulu, Umur dia 70 tahun tau, biar betik kan? Tu la hebat orang Islam zaman dulu.
jugak cerita pasal Abu-al-nasr-ismael nak try terbang dari minaret, cakap melayu apa eh? Kubah eh? ( siak ah aku nye bahasa melayu makin rabak siol ).
Then dia jatuh and mati.
Then cerita pasal abad 17 Turkey, Hezarfen Ahmed Celebi jugak berjaya terbang..

Jadi cam...ok, memang kita tahu orang Islam memang pandai la, tapi bila gi pameran gini cam....WOW! ( sambil buat dio sign dua2 tangan ).
Nanti la aku sambung k, berlambak sey photo, actually aku petik tiap2 exhibit tau, tiap2 satu aku petik, berapa ratus gambar foto tu. Ada cam topik boring la, tapi topik ni gerek la kan...

moving on...

WHATEVER IT IS THIS IS IRON MAIDEN"S FLIGHT OF ICARUS 12 INCH VINYL, 7 INCH VINYL and CD OF FIRST TEN YEARS...
Best intepretation of the sad tale of Icarus ( though the album version was a bit slow and it was speeded up to a more rockin speed, by the Live After Death was recorded ),
ICARUS WHO WONT LISTEN TO HIS OWN FATHER.
rasain lu.
AS YOU CAN SEE... ICARUS WINGS GLUE WAS NOT MELTED BY THE SUN, HE WAS BLASTED BY A FLAME THROWER that EDDIE carries!! hahaah.
and that tiny little square box below the letter " O " in Iron? That is the padded room where the lobotomised Eddie is chained on the Piece Of Mind album cover.
All hail Derek Riggs!!!!
