The Indian Air Force (IAF) turned the skies over the Brahmaputra River into a breathtaking canvas on Sunday as it staged a grand air show to commemorate its 93rd anniversary.
Thousands of spectators gathered at Lachit Ghat to witness the thrilling display of aerial prowess, as fighter jets, transport aircraft, and helicopters showcased India’s air power and precision flying.
Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh and Air Marshal Surat Singh, Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Eastern Air Command, were among the dignitaries in attendance.
This year’s Air Force Day celebrations revolve around the theme “Infallible, Impervious and Precise,” a tribute to the force’s resilience, accuracy, and strength.
The flying display featured an impressive fleet, including the indigenously built Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, the Light Combat Helicopter Prachand, C-295 transport aircraft, and Hawk trainer jets. The roaring manoeuvres of Rafale, Sukhoi-30, and Harvard aircraft drew thunderous applause from the crowd, offering a vivid glimpse of the IAF’s combat preparedness.
The show reached its grand finale with captivating performances by the Suryakiran Aerobatic Team and the Sarang Helicopter Display Team.
