RIYADH: The Saudi Aviation Club achieved a groundbreaking milestone at the General Aviation Airshow “Sand & Fun,” setting a new Guinness World Record for the most fireworks launched while suspended from a helicopter.

The achievement took place on Thursday at Al-Thumamah Airport in Riyadh using a modified Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm BP 105 P1M helicopter.

The aircraft was equipped with a custom-engineered pyrotechnic platform that launched hundreds of fireworks during flight.
