In picture : Aero India 2017 with Jetline Marvel

The 11th edition of the biennial Aero India took off to a colourful start on Tuesday at the Yelahanka Air Force Station in Bengaluru. While it was common for overseas companies to steal the show earlier with their advanced metal birds, Aero India 2017 offered more of indigenous aircraft and their breathtaking display of thrilling manoeuvres at Yelahanka. However, the show touted to be the largest air show in entire Asia appeared to have lost its mojo with many aircraft and flying squads giving a miss to this year’s aero show.

A total of 549 companies are taken part in the event, of which 270 are Indian and 279 foreign.  Mi-17 helicopters, indigenously built HAL products comprising Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) flanked by Cheetal helicopter, Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH) and the Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), formation comprising Dornier Do 228, Light Combat Aircraft Tejas, HTT-40 (Basic Trainer Aircraft) and Hawk and others have been showcased at the event by India.
