Indian Air Force | Sarang | Advanced Light Helicopter Display | AERO INDIA 2023
The origin of the ‘Sarang’ Helicopter Display Team, the pride of the Indian Air Force (IAF) today, lies in the erstwhile advanced light helicopter (ALH) evaluation flight raised at Aircraft and System Testing Establishment (ASTE), Bangalore, on March 18, 2002. On completion of the initial field evaluation of the indigenously manufactured ALH, the unit was tasked to develop a profile to showcase the attributes of the ALH that was later renamed as Dhruv. The evaluation flight put together a three-ship team of the Dhruv helicopter and developed a flying display profile with some breathtaking manoeuvres in formation. The fourth aircraft was added to the display team a year later with the aim to enhance the strength of the team to five.
The team, initially located in Kolar, was formally christened in October 2003 as ‘Sarang’ (peacock in Sanskrit) and was accorded a new identity as 151 Helicopter Unit (HU) in June 2004. In April 2005, 151 HU was relocated at Air Force Station at Yelahanka, north of Bangalore. In late 2009, for operational compulsion, 151 HU was moved to the Air Force Station at Sulur, near Coimbatore.
