Aero India is India’s premier aerospace exhibition and air show, held from 14 to 18 February 2017.

A cross-section of U.S. military aircraft and equipment are scheduled to be present through static displays and aerial demonstrations including two F-16 Fighting Falcons from the 35th Fighter Wing, Misawa Air Base, Japan; and one C-130J Super Hercules from the 143rd Airlift Wing, Rhode Island Air National Guard. One F-16 will conduct a single-ship demonstration during the show.

A highlight of the tradeshow will be a joint U.S. and India special forces combined freefall jump from a C-130J.

Through participation in air shows and other regional events, the United States is able to demonstrate its commitment to the security of the Indo-Asia-Pacific region, promote the standardization and interoperability of equipment, and display capabilities critical to the success of current and future military operations.
