Cockpits at the 2010 Al Ain Aerobatic Show

The Al Ain Aerobatic Show is one of the largest and most prestigious events of it's type in the world. Held in Al Ain in Abu Dhabi on 27 - 30th January 2010 the event was managed by Flying Aces Ltd on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA).

 

As much of the show is aimed at youth and families the ADTA was very keen to have some sort of cockpit zone so children could get up close. To that end cockpiters were invited to attend in order to assemble a display of 3-5 cockpits.

 

Neil and Heather Airey and David Webb were keen to support the event (and to escape the freezing British weather no doubt!) and displayed the cockpits shown below following road and container ship transportation arranged by Flying Aces.
