There's nothing quite like music to the ears of the four Ivchenko AI-20M turboprops as this Sea Dragon from INAS 315 "Winged Stallions" comes in low over INS Hansa in the hands of Senior Pilot Cdr PK Sharma in the run-up to the President's Colors to Naval Aviation ceremony. The chin mounted Lanner-A (NV5-0101) EO pod gets a good look to starboard. The typically grey Goa monsoon weather exemplifies the conditions in which the airborne MR assets of the Indian Navy fly daily to guard the vast coastline.
