Riyadh Airshow Sets Guinness World Record With Helicopter Fireworks

The Saudi Aviation Club set a Guinness World Record for the most fireworks launched while suspended from a helicopter at Al Thumamah Airport in Riyadh during the General Aviation Airshow Sand & Fun.
The record-setting flight used a modified Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm BP 105 P1M helicopter fitted with a custom-engineered pyrotechnic platform that launched hundreds of fireworks during flight. The spectacle was developed with Aeropact from Poland and Flash Art from the UAE, combining aviation engineering with show technology.
The airshow drew more than 200,000 visitors and featured over 90 aerial displays, along with static aircraft exhibits, the Hangar Talks forum on electric vertical take-off and landing and artificial intelligence technologies, the technology-focused Terminal X zone, and a Kids Zone.
The business programme included more than 150 exhibitors and welcomed more than 3,000 VIP visitors and international delegations, the club said.
