To promote the National Security Education Day, the Government Flying Service (GFS) held an open day today (April 13) at the GFS Kai Tak Division, taking the opportunity to raise public awareness of national security and deepen their understanding of the GFS's services, as well as its work and achievements in safeguarding national security.
The open day featured interactive exhibition boards, national security-themed game booths, as well as virtual-reality and augmented-reality games to give members of the public a better understanding of GFS operations. The Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps performed a Chinese-style foot drill and gave a pipe band performance during the open day. As a concluding performance, a search-and-rescue flight demonstration was performed by a helicopter simulating a marine rescue operation, illustrating emergency response efforts by the GFS during life-saving missions.
More than 1 600 visitors joined the GFS Open Day. The Deputy Secretary for Justice, Dr Cheung Kwok-kwan, and the Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, toured the open day and recognised the efforts and contributions by the GFS in safeguarding national security.
