It will be held at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day of Vietnam.
At the event, visitors can step inside an Airbus A320 used for training aerospace engineers and pilots, take part in emergency evacuation training with aviation experts, and explore artifacts from Vietnam’s aviation history.
One such artifact is the IL-14 (VN-C482) aircraft once used by Party and State leaders, including President Ho Chi Minh, during the resistance war against the US. The plane was one of five models provided to Vietnam by the Soviet Union in 1957.
