The 53rd International Paris Air Show officially started on Monday, June 17.
It's held at Le Bourget airport near Paris, and is "the largest and longest-running aerospace trade show in the world," according to its website.
The 53rd International Paris Air Show is underway at Le Bourget airport, just outside of Paris. The trade show is playing host to aircraft from all over the world - from Pakistan's J-F 17 Thunder to Russia's Ansat helicopter.
The event kicked off with performances from the French Air Force Patrouille de France; demonstrations of other aircraft take place throughout the show. The Paris Air Show started in 1909, and hosted 322,000 visitors in 2017.
The first four days of the show are for professionals only, but the general public can attend the show from June 21 until it ends on June 23. But luckily for those far from France, INSIDER pulled together some of the most exciting images from the 2019 show so far.
