IAF Sukhois win 'Spirit of the Meet' trophy in UK
NEW DELHI: The Sukhoi-30 MKIs of the Indian Air Force on Monday won the "Spirit of the Meet" trophy at the prestigious Royal International Air Tattoo held at Royal Air Force base Fairford in the United Kingdom.
The trophy sponsored by British Aerospace was received by Wing Commander A K Bharti, Commanding officer of the IAF's 3Oth Squadron 'Rhino', and came close on the heels of the Sukhoi bagging the best static display award at Waddington Air show nearby last week.
At the show in which 320 aircraft from 24 countries took part, a single IAF Sukhoi flown by Wing Commander H Assudani and Squadron Leader S K Sharma undertook a dazzling air display.
Significantly, the air show also saw the appearance of an IAF Hawk advanced jet trainer making a silent static display. The aircraft painted in IAF colours is part of contingent undergoing final tests before their delivery to India in September.
