New Delhi, October 6

The IAF on Wednesday conducted a full dress rehearsal for air display at the Hindon air base. The actual air display will be conducted on October 8 to commemorate the Air Force Day.

The fly-past will include heritage aircraft, modern transport aircraft and frontline fighter aircraft. Almost 50 planes and helicopters will be part of the display.

The air display will commence with flag-bearing skydivers of the “Akash Ganga” team dropping out of AN-32 aircraft in their colourful canopies. The newly inducted Rafale fighter jets will be the attraction of the fly-past, besides other jets like the Sukhoi30 MKI and the MiG 29 will participate in the event. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
