The 11th Al Ain Air Championship (formerly known as Al Ain Aerobatic Show) was held one week before Christmas, providing      
an excellent break from the Western European weather. The UAEAF was well presented with a selection of aircraft      
on static display, as well its demo team Fursan. Not surprisingly, they won the championship by popular vote, although      
one of their performances was cut short by the ingestion of a massive bird by #6. Horizon IFA provides helicopter training      
to the military and operates some ex-military helicopters.
