It started with speeches from His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Hareb, Chairman of the Higher Organising Committee for the FAI World Air Games Dubai 2015, and from Dr. John Grubbström, FAI President. Many aviation personalities and officials were present for the occasion, including His Excellency Nasser Al Neyadi, President of the Emirates Aerosports Federation, His Excellency Yousif al Hammadi, Director of the FAI World Air Games Dubai and FAI Secretary General Susanne Schödel. They had a chance to see demonstration flights of radio-controlled helicopters, which gave them an insight into the fantastic competitions which will take place at the FAI World Air Games from 1 to 12 December 2015. The ceremony also included a presentation of the Games and of the sports that have been selected to be on the programme of the event. The logo shows the letters WAG, which stand for World Air Games, in the four colours of the United Arab Emirates: red, white, green and black. They are cleverly designed in the shape of a hawk, the symbol the Arabic region. It also includes the FAI logo and special features such as Dubai written in both Arabic and Latin letters. The beautiful new logo for the FAI World Air Games Dubai 2015 really deserved to be presented in the beautiful Skydive Marina of Dubai. Dr. John Grubbström commented. The preparations for the Games are running smoothly, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us. The upcoming months are going to be very exciting, and I cannot wait for the Games to start. * Logo of the FAI World Air Games Dubai 2015 - Pictures of the ceremony <https://www.flickr.com/photos/airsports_fai/sets/72157650841289650/> About the FAI World Air Games The World Air Games, conducted under the rules of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), is the premier international multi-discipline air sports event fielding the worlds top Air Sports athletes.
