AIR SHOW AT MARINA

THE SURYAKIRANS AT THEIR BEST

AIR SHOW AT MARINA

REPORTED BY:ANITHA RAMACHANDRAN

Indian Air Force held a air show on the Marina beach on April 22.Traffic was blocked by the police in the morning itself though the show started only in the evening at around 4.30 pm. Vehicles were not allowed on Santhome High Road.

The crowd was large. Many had their binoculars and cameras on.Lights blazing and smoke trailing, three Advanced Light Helicopters made the entry, in full throttle. They made a steep climb, stood for a second and took a 180 degree turn to plummet and disperse in different directions.

It was an awesome sight. Many stunts which were performed left the spectators stunned.

The Surya Kiran team did its best too. The show was held to mark the Platinum Jubilee of the Air Force. The other teams were the Sarang, Akash Ganga and the Jaguar. They gave the scintillating performances.

Said young Akshya, a twelve year old girl at the air show,"I was impressed and I never knew that helicopters could do such amazing feats.I have never seen all this even in movies."
