To mark its 93rd anniversary, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is organising its first-ever full-scale air show in Guwahati today from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event, hosted by the Eastern Air Command, will feature over 75 aircraft and helicopters performing more than 25 formations over the Lahit Ghat area above the Brahmaputra River.

These aircraft will operate from seven air bases in the region — Guwahati, Tezpur, Jorhat, Chabua, Hasimara, Bagdogra, and Panagarh. The lineup of aircraft includes the Rafale, Sukhoi-30, Apache, MiG-29, IL-78 refueller, Mirage, Jaguar, C-17 Globemaster, Mi-17, Advanced Light Helicopter Mk-1, C-130 Hercules, Antonov AN-32, and the Surya Kiran aerobatic team.

This year’s Air Force Day celebrations revolve around the theme “Infallible, Impervious, and Precise,” symbolising the IAF’s focus on operational capability, resilience, and precision.
