The PAF contingent comprising three JF-17 Thunder aircraft along with the air and ground crew are in Paris to participate in the mega event, reported Radio Pakistan.

The PAF demo team practiced a series of aerobatic drills and is fully prepared to woo the spectators in the largest air show of the world.

One PAF JF-17 aircraft would perform flying display on each day of the show while the other would be put on static display showcasing its lethal and sophisticated weaponry.



The first four days of the show will be reserved for trade visitors, while the next three days will be open to the general public.

The JF-17 aerial display is considered to be a major attraction of the show, providing an opportunity to showcase its cutting edge capabilities.

It would also allow potential customers to assess its abilities and help its promotion in the international market.

Organised by the French Aerospace Industries Association, the Paris Air Show  is the largest aerospace-industry exhibition type air show in the world in terms of the number of exhibitors and size of exhibit space.
