Manama, Jan 17 (BNA) -- As the curtain goes up on the second edition
of Bahrain International Air Show (BIAS2012), the tarmac of the Shaikh
Isa Airbase at Sakhir is abuzz with activity.
The morning belonged to the Royal Bahrain Air Force, who gave a
brilliant display of para gliding. The skies around Sakhir airbase
were aglow with red.
The tarmac saw some heavy beauties of the sand fly down to take up
their own place. These include the amphibious choppers and the mean
machines with their guns pouting.
They were followed by the French Air Force, who turned up in force
in true style. A while along later came the brown Orion from Qatar,
plume up in the air like the Orion ready to clash.
The Wallan Aviation products came a tard later and included a
single-engined Cessna 172 trainer, Citation CJ1, the Citation CJ4
and the Caravan 128.
The post-lunch session saw the arrival of Armenian airline Armavia
Avia, announcing their presence at this airshow.
BIAS will kick start tomorrow.
