Mark Your Calendars ASAP! Aero India Is Back In 2017 For Its 11th Edition

If you’re looking to experience some vicarious thrills, Bangalore’s mega biennial aero show, the largest in Asia and second largest in the world, is back from February 14 -18 in 2017.

While the main purpose of the event is to be a marketplace for the defence industry, Aero India has become on of Bangalore’s premier entertainment spectacles. Hosted by the country’s Defence Ministry, along with several other aero-related organisations, the show features over 70 aircrafts — light combat aircrafts, helicopters, fighters and unmanned aerial vehicles to name a few. If you’re looking for some vicarious thrills, you’re definitely not going to want to miss this — pilots orchestrate their ability to skilfully navigate, coordinate and synchronise — aerobatics with oodles of flair and style, leaving trails of coloured smoke all across the sky. Make a day out of this spectacle because it’s a real visual treat for the family.

Aero India is traditionally hosted in Yelahanka, and before you complain about the distance, just know the event takes places once every two years. Mark your calendars, because if you miss it this year, you’ll only get your next chance to attend in 2019, which is certainly no short while away! Where else are you going to see fighter jets do mid-air flips, all the while emitting plumes of fire for dramatic effect?
