In the first-ever aerial display over the holy Sangam area in Prayagraj, the Indian Air Force would be flying its aircraft in the Sugreev, Luv-Kush and Bharat formations along with others.

The air display would be taking place on the 91st anniversary of the force on October 8 in Prayagraj for the first time.

The Sugreev formation would include the single C-295 transport aircraft recently inducted by the Indian Air Force from Spain.

The Luv-Kush formation would include one each of the vintage aircraft Harward and Tigermoth which would take off from the runway in Prayagraj.
