The Dubai Airshow is recognized as the premiere aviation event in the Gulf/Middle East region. The U.S. has participated since 2003 to demonstrate a commitment to regional security, demonstrate the flexibility of airpower, and to strengthen military-to-military relationships with regional partners. This year approximately 250 U.S. military members across three services participated in the event by providing aircraft, force protection, logistics, and maintenance support.
