Though the five-day trade fair remained lack-lustre till Friday in the absence of many aircraft, especially fighters taking to sky as in its previous editions, the belated arrival of the charismatic Russian Knights, the aerobatics team of the Russian Air Force and its maiden performance brought life into the air show finally.
"It is wonderful to see four jets (Sukhoi 27) perform daring feats at different altitudes and speeds to demonstrate their amazing flying and strike capabilities," an excited 24-year-old tech Manoj Kumar said.
"It is a delight to at least watch them in action as the IAF has grounded its Surya Kiran aerobatics team in this show for technical reasons," Kumar said.
