Wow- what a moment !!
The Indian Air Force will celebrate its 92nd Raising Day in Chennai on October 8, 2024, showcasing 64 aircraft from various categories. The event will highlight India's growing air power and military readiness.
This year, the theme is 'Bharatiya Vayusena: Saksham, Sashakt aur Aatmnirbhar' (Indian Air Force: Capable, Strong, and Self-reliant), highlighting the force's commitment to national security, self-reliance, and modernisation.
The celebrations will feature a spectacular flypast over Marina Beach, showcasing 64 aircraft from various categories, reflecting India's growing air power and military readiness. Aircraft such as the Su-30, MiG-29, Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), Chetak, Dakota, and Jaguars will be on display. The Navy's anti-submarine warfare aircraft, the P8I, will also make an appearance, while the Army’s Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Mk4 will join the aerial showcase.
The IAF's display of air prowess at Marina Beach, from 11 am to 1 pm on October 6, will be open to the public for free. The main dais will be set up in front of Vivekananda House, but the public is welcome to use the entire Marina stretch to view the aerial feast. The aircraft will fly from the lighthouse side toward the Indian Naval Station (INS) Adyar.
For sure, it is going to be a special day and the prelude of two mighty aircrafts flying over Marina / Triplicane was such a joyous moment.
Salute our armed forces – Jai HindWith regards – S Sampathkumar
