One of the oddball exhibits in the Static Aircraft Display line up was a 50 year old Bell 47G Helicopter belonging to Pushpaka Aviation. The Helicopter VT-DXE was assembled on site at the line up and was 'hired' by Bell Helicopters to illustrate the longevity as well as the historical connection with India.

Pushpaka Aviation, based in Juhu had operated a fleet of Bell 47G helicopters for ages, including VT-EAP, a regular in Indian movies from the 80s.

This particular helicopter had been stored with Pushpaka for nearly six years before it was bought out and prepared for this event.
