The Indian Air Force will carry out a fly past on 26 Jan 10 as a part of Republic Day celebrations. A total of 28 aircraft flying at heights varying from 60 meters to 500 meters above ground level will take part in the fly past. The details of fly past (practices & final show) are as follows:-

Date & Time – Rehearsal/ Final Fly Past from 20 Jan to 26 Jan 10 (between 0930 hrs to 1230 hrs).

Areas over which aircraft will be flying at low level are:-

Birds pose a serious threat to aircraft flying at low levels. Eatables thrown out in the open attract birds. To ensure a safe fly past, the Indian Air Force requests the citizens of Delhi and its neighborhood for the following:-

Ø DO NOT THROW EATABLES, GARBAGE, DEAD ANIMALS OR ANIMAL CARCASSES IN THE OPEN.

Ø IF ANY CARCASS IS FOUND IN THE OPEN, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO REPORT TO THE NEAREST AIR FORCE UNIT/ POLICE STATION.
