IAF’s Sarang team to fly Dhruv choppers in aerial acrobatics display

The ‘Sarang Split’ would see the helicopters soar together before dramatically peeling away in opposite directions with immaculate precision, the statement said.

The IAF team leader, Wing Commander Abhijit Kumar, Senior Engineer Wing Commander Piyush Mukherjee and team commentator and administrator Flight Lieutenant Pallavi Sangwan said on Friday that the display would mark the first-ever performance of the Sarang team in south Gujarat.

Promising a “spectacular display” of around 22 minutes for the people of Ankleshwar and nearby areas, the helicopter display team aims at “attracting youths to join the armed forces and showcase the prowess of the IAF.”
