At the main hall of Atrium part of MOA lies the biggest
replica of X-Wing, even though locally manufactured this gigantic Sci-Fi
fighter plane is such a delight not just for Star Wars fans, but for all ages

a real one indeed, of course with setting of moods due to its background music
that keep playing while you inspect the fighter plane. X-Wing was identified
with Luke Skywalker in the past Star Wars films as his vehicle.
