Indian Air Force plane arrives in Fiji
An Indian Air Force aircraft has arrived in the country this morning ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit on Wednesday.
The aircraft is an Illyushin 76MD known as the Gajraj or King Elephant in the Indian Air Force which forms the strategic/heavy transport fleet.
It has brought vehicles believed to be bullet proof for Modi’s entourage as well as his advanced security team...

Quick question. MKI pilots fly with the blue IAF overalls or the green ones?
Recent pics seem to indicate that they use the green overalls.
What happened to the blue ones?
I really dunno. It seems that the numerous joint exercises with the USAF may have contributed to the change; just as the collar flashes/tabs also got changed.
Which brings a second question, the Helmets and other associated gear. Do both pilots get the HMS or just the pilot?
And this recent photo gives a rather confusing picture. The ACM is in the traditional blue gear while his checkride pilot in green.

TBH; I've not had a chance to get up close and personal with IAF aviators in the recent past. Though I visit a place close to a Sukhoi base off and on.
Now coming to the picture, (and others like it); I see that the IAF Pilots in general (whether Su or Herk or any other) are attired in the green overalls. NAK Browne seems to in the blues, maybe to be a little distinctive, perhaps?
There is another picture (on the net) where Adm.Arun Prakash took a ride with a Su of the 20th Sqdn (in which he served as a Lt. in 1971 on Hunters) wearing beige overalls, the kind that he would wear as a Harrier pilot, while his pilot Wg Cdr Rathore is in the std IAF overalls.
