Dubai air show closed due to rain, local flooding

The Dubai Airshow was closed on Thursday after heavy winds and rain hit the region overnight.

"The Dubai Airshow is closed today due to severe weather conditions; please do not travel to the show venue," the organizers said on the show's website.    

Participants who arrived early were evacuated amid flooding of the local roads connecting the air show site and the Dubai city center, according to one US industry official.

A spokesman for the US Air Force said there was no damage to the 12 US aircraft that were on display as US officials had moved the aircraft late on Wednesday to a nearby maintenance facility in anticipation of the storm.

The US military brought a wide array of aircraft to the show, including two helicopters, a stealthy Lockheed Martin Corp  F-22, four V-22 tiltrotor aircraft built by Boeing Co and Bell Helicopter, a unit of Textron Inc, a Boeing F-15E fighter and a B-1 bomber.
