As part of the full rehearsal for the Presidential Fleet Review (PFR) scheduled on February 21, close of 55 aircraft belonging to the aviation wing of the Indian Navy and the Indian Coast Guard made sorties over the Bay of Bengal here on Friday morning.
On the blue waters of the Bay, 60 ships from the Indian Navy, the Indian Coast Guard, the Shipping Corporation of India, and the Ministry of Earth Sciences stood anchored in column formation.
The roar of the aircraft flying in formation one after the other made not only the beach- goers but also the people on the road across the city to stop their vehicles and look up the sky.
