India, Nov. 10 -- The Indian Air Force (IAF) deployed 75 aircraft, including helicopters and fighter jets such as the Sukhoi Su-30 and Rafale, for its first air show in the northeast on Sunday as part of its 93rd anniversary celebrations. The show concluded with the Surya Kiran aerobatics and Sarang helicopter display team's synchronised manoeuvring.

Air Chief Marshal AP Singh said the IAF had been trying to do such an air show in the northeast for some time. He added that the IAF changed its timings from October, when it is usually held, to coincide with the IAF anniversary celebrations, to November to organise it in the northeast. "I am amazed at the full support of the people and the local administration," he said.
