Thiruvananthapuram: ity residents had brief glimpses of the Air Force’s peacock-hued Sarang helicopter display team on Monday as they arrived in the city for the two-day Air Show marking the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Southern Air Command (SAC).
The Dhruv helicopters flew over the city before landing at the Air Force’s technical area at Shangumugham ahead of the show on Wednesday and Thursday. On both days, the show will be held from 10.30 a.m to 12 noon over Shangumugham.
‘’Wednesday’s show, in fact, will be full-dress rehearsal. Thursday will be the official show,’’ a defence spokesperson said.
In addition to the Sarang choppers, frontline fighters of the Air Force, Sukhoi-30s and Jaguars will be the big attraction at the show. These fighter aircraft will fly in for the show from various air stations of the SAC in neighbouring states. The show will also feature the Air Force’s skydiving team, the ‘Akash Ganga’, the Air Warriors Drill team, paragliding and a performance by the Air Force Band.
