Bell is attending the Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX) at Aqaba International Exhibition & Conference Center in Jordan from 2 to 5 September.

At SOFEX, Bell is showcasing a Bell 505 aircraft on static display, one of the fleet recently acquired by the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) for military training. RJAF pilots will be available to answer questions about the platform and its training capabilities.

On July 24, 2024, Bell Textron Inc. announced the completion of its delivery of 10 Bell 505 aircraft to the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF). The final delivery, celebrated during a graduation ceremony attended by Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, highlights the RJAF’s commitment to excellence in aviation training.
