IAF air show leaves Raipur spellbound | An air-show by the Indian Air Force (IAF) on Saturday left
Raipur residents spellbound, as they celebrated
'Chhattisgarh Rajyotsav-2009’, the ninth year of the state’s formation. During the two-day gala air show, Surya Kiran, the IAF's aerobatic team, demonstrated breathtaking air stunts over the
Vivekananda pond which is located in the heart of the city. "For the first time
an event like this is being held in Raipur . Everyone, from youngsters to the
elderly, enjoyed the air show. I would like to congratulate our fighter pilots
who put up a fabulous show which was beyond our imagination," said Chhattisgarh
Chief Minister Raman Singh . "A lot of interesting formations were taking place.
The aeroplanes flew in a heart-shaped formation, then there were triangular formations.
Whenever such an air show is held next time in Raipur , we will come to witness
it again," added Seema, a local. Every year, the IAF holds many air shows and
exhibitions across the country on different occasions to exhibit their aerobatic
skills and to create awareness among the people about the defence services. The
IAF is the fourth biggest air force in the world. |
