Angkasawan Negara Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor was in Langkawi for a one day official visit under the “Program Motivasi Angkasawan 3P Langkawi 2008″. He visited HMA’s hangar over at the Langkawi International Airport near Padang Matsirat this afternoon and gave a motivational talk to HMA’s students.
HM Aerospace Sdn Bhd (HMA) is Malaysia’s largest aviation training center providing world-class training and facilities for cadet pilots. As a member of the Halim Mazmin Group, HMA has the capacity to train a minimum of 200 cadet pilots per year in their Langkawi facilities.

Dr. Sheikh together with Tan Sri Halim later toured the facilities and had an hands on experience on board a Diamond DA 42 Twin Star (an Austrian built training aircraft).
Students as well as my two daughters took the opportunity to have their photos taken with Dr. Sheikh and not forgetting an autograph from our “Angkasawan”. Before leaving the facility he acknowledge his fans by having a group photo taken together with Tan Sri Halim, the students and staffs of HM Aerospace Langkawi.
