The flying display

Photos showed the line up of the display aircraft and the crowd scene at the show. Solo displays came from the Su-30 MKI, the Saab Gripen and the Rafale. The Flying Bulls aerobatic team flew, and so did the Indian Air Force's Surya Kiran team on their HJT-16 Kirans, a team that had since been disbanded when the gallery was posted. One sequence caught photographer Anthony Bari Jr at work.

Trade stalls

One photo showed the Honeywell stall, where the author was explaining LED anti collision lights to visitors. Another noted that Rolls-Royce had pulled out of the race with Honeywell to re-engine the Jaguar. A further picture showed the IGRUA stand, which was still using the author's video for its advertising, a proud moment.
