Asia’s premier aircraft exhibition and the second largest in the world, Aero India took the Yelahanka Air Force Station in Bangalore by storm this past week, leaving more than 1 million people in awe.
Five aerobatic teams, top-of-the-line fighter jets, monstrous transport and support aircraft, made-in-India helicopters and attack aircraft were on show this year, and the multitudes braved the scorching sun for five days, soaking it all in.
If you couldn’t make it to Yelahanka this year, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is the next show is two years away, and may even be moved from Bangalore.
The good news: Here’s some incentive for you to make it to Aero India in 2017 …
