Sarang to show its colours in Berlin

The ‘Sarang’ Team of 14 officers and 32 airmen, led by the Commanding Officer, Wing Commander Shashank Misra, is slated to perform in the ILA 2008 (Air show) being held in Berlin from 27 May to 01 Jun 08.

The team’s tour culminates with display during the Farnborough International Air Show from 14 to 20 Jul 08.
The Sarang team has formulated and executed a three helicopter display profile with little experience in the field of display in a very short span of time. The first public display of the Sarang Team was during the Asian Aerospace at Singapore in 2004. The display was appreciated by the viewers across the globe and the Team earned rave reviews from international media. Since then, the Team has graduated to a four helicopter team and has participated in numerous displays in India and abroad. The Team was also adjudged as one amongst the ten best display tem in the world after its performance at the AI Ain Aerobatic Show at UAE in Jan 05. The Team is a regular participant during the bi-annual Aero India International air show held at Air Force Station Yelahanka. Other than this, the Team undertakes displays during various prestigious events such as Air Force Day, National Defence Academy Passing out Parade, and other events of national and international significance.
