<p>The flying display will including 13 fighters such as Jaguars and MiG-29s, apart from the Su-30s and 10 helicopters including the Mi-25 attack helicopters and indigenous Dhruv advanced light helicopters. <br /><br />A Sukhoi SU-30 will carry out its spell-binding signature "Vertical Charlie" manoeuvre - pulling up into the wild blue yonder - at the end of the flypast. <br /><br />The aircraft -- both fixed and rotary wing -- would fly out of five air bases in and around the capital including Jodhpur in Rajasthan, Ambala in Haryana and Hindon in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. <br /><br />Apart from the 25 IAF aircraft, there will be three Army Aviation Corps helicopters also participating in the flypast. <br /><br />The flypast will be in two phases - at the start of the parade by helicopters trailing the national tri-color and the ensigns of the three services. <br /><br />The second phase will be at the end of the parade with two formations comprising Mi-25 attack helicopters and a transport aircraft formation of IL-78 tankers, AN-32s and Dorniers. <br /><br />"These will be followed by fighter jets such as Jaguars, Mig-29s and Su-30s. A vertical charlie manoeuvre by a single Su-30 MKI spiralling upwards will signal the close of the proceedings," IAF Assistant Chief (Space) Air Vice Marshal M. Matheswaran told reporters here. <br /><br />However, if weather plays spoilsport, the aerial display may be "partially or fully" cancelled, though in the last two decades there have been only a few occasions when the flypast has been scaled down, he said. <br /><br />The aerial show will be matched by 144 air warriors and 72 musicians of Air Force Band, who will form the IAF marching contingent on Rajpath.</p>
