The oldest air show in the world was held in 2005 over the period of 13th June–19th June. The 2005 show witnessed the return of American companies in large numbers following the downscaling of their presence in 2003 in relation to the Iraq War. Another strain in relations in 2005 was the recently launched World Trade Organisation litigation.
