The high drama in the skies was part of the "image projection" exercise aimed at reaching out to the young ones to motivate them for joining the Indian Air Force.

Students from various schools were invited to witness the event, as the members of the Sarang and Akash Ganga team interacted with them at the spectacular air show.

Air Commodore S Srinivasan, Vishisht Seva Medal, Air Officer Commanding, Air Force Station, Agra also interacted with the Air Force personnel, students and other visitors.

Several aerial maneuvers, starting off with the 'Inverted Wine Glass' formation, the colorful choppers moved onto the 'Line Astern' and went in for the 'Star Maneuver', which is unique to helicopter flying.

The team signed off with its signature maneuver 'Sarang Split' in which the helicopters cross each other vertically and horizontally to simulate a knot.
