Patrouille De France at Hindon 2004

The famed Suryakirans of the IAF and the Patrouille De France of the French Armee De L’ Air performed together at Hindon Air Force Station on November 7th, 2004. The Suryakirans on their Kiran Mark-II along with the French in their Alpha jets. The two teams put on a show of carefully honed and precision-timed flying.
“It was an exhilarating display by both the teams. It had stand-out skills, not seen in the normal course. They both demonstrated great professionalism,’’ Western Air Command Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief and Chief of Air Staff-designate Air Marshal S.P. Tyagi said. Talking to newspersons after the show, he said the relationship between both forces was very old.
“I have had personal experience myself, having flown on the Mystere and Toofani aircraft, acquired from the French,” Air Marshal Tyagi said, that adding interaction between both forces would definitely continue. French Ambassador Domnique Girard, who was also present on the occasion, called the event ‘’fantastic.’’
A display by the IAF’s skydiving team — the Air Devils — and microlite aircraft preceded the show, attended by senior IAF officials, including Vice-Chief Air Marshal S.K. Malik and the force’s first woman three-star officer Air Marshal Padma Banddopadhyay and French diplomats, defence attaches from several countries, including Russia and Israel were also present.
