The Army kicked off the proceedings at 10:00 hrs with marching troops. At 10:50 hrs the flying elements of the Army started passing overhead, followed by the Navy. About 25 to 30 minutes later a paradrop was performed and the two army helicopters with soldiers on a rope passed by. After this, the rolling material took to the stage. This was followed somewhat later by the Air Force fly-by which started around 12:05 hrs. Transports were followed by helicopters and this phase ended with four flag bearing helicopters. The fast movers were at the end and there were some solo displays over Tejgaon, with the grand finale by the MiG-29.
Note: if there is a date in the last column, it was read/seen during rehearsal.
