Mysore: The Dasara Festival Committee is optimistic of bringing back
Dasara Air Show, one of the biggest attractions of the festivities here
since its launch about ten years ago, this year with the State
Government directly pursuing its request to the Ministry of Defence for
holding the show in Mysore.
Disclosing this to The Hindu, Deputy Commissioner C Shikha, who is the Dasara Special Officer, said, “We have been communicated that the performance of Sarang helicopter display team is unlikely for certain reasons but Akash Ganga, the sky-diving team of the Indian Air Force, may perform.”
A clear picture on the show is expected in a day or two, the deputy commissioner said, adding that “we are confident of bringing back the show this Dasara.”
The Dasara air show was not part of the festivities since last few years. The Dasara tourists and the locals, especially the schoolchildren, were missing the action. The show was always a huge hit among tourists and aviation enthusiasts.
