A great comparison of sizes as a man in the water awaits rescue from an ALH Mk.I with its long winch cable and rescue basket in front of the Indian Navy's Deepak-class fleet replenishment tanker A57 INS Shakti during the President's Fleet Review off Visakhapatnam. One could better appreciate the challenges of maritime SAR through this demo during the review, with the man overboard being difficult to spot as a speck in the water.

On static display for the award of President's Color to Naval Aviation. Once Harrier had been selected for the carrier, IN pilots led by Cdr A. Prakash VrC went to RAF Wittering in 1982 for the basic course on the T Mk.4. By 1983, INAS 300 "White Tigers" was operational on Sea Harrier Mk.51s along with a T Mk.60. More Harriers were inducted, with training done by INAS 551 B-Flight, later INAS 552. Replacement T Mk.4(I) trainers were ex-RAF, this being ZB602. IN's Harriers were decommissioned in 2016.

P-8I of INAS 312 "Albatross" in the hands of LCdr Saurabh Kumar flies past Shri Ram Nath Kovind, President of India and Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces at the President's Colors to Naval Aviation ceremony. The grey monsoon skies of Goa is just another day for this LRMR/ASW unit that ranges far and wide. INAS 312 formerly flew the mighty Tu-142M from INS Rajali.

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.

Cdr Ankur Jain flies in INS Hansa's drab monsoon skies with tailhook extended in the run-up to the President's Color to Naval Aviation ceremony. The checkerboard fiducials are visible all over NP-1, which looks better than the single-seat NP-2. LCA (Navy) achieved an important milestone for India's indigenously built fighter when Cmde Jaideep Maolankar "Mao" trapped NP-2 successfully aboard R33 INS Vikramaditya on 11 Jan 2020. The program is headed towards the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF).

Leaping into the air, this KUB of INAS 300 "White Tigers" climbs into Goa's dull monsoon skies during the award of President's Color to Naval Aviation. IN's Naval Air Arm completes 68 years of yeoman service in 2021 since the inception of the Fleet Requirement Unit (FRU) on 11 March 1953. "White Tigers" is the longest serving combat unit of the Indian Navy and one of its premier fighter squadrons. INAS 300 currently serves as the OCU for INAS 303. Both squadron emblems are visible on the aircraft.

These Chetaks are from INAS 321 "Angels" based at INS Shikra. Formed in 1969, the Angels have saved many lives, living up to their motto "We Dare, You Survive". Designated a Fleet Support Squadron, its Chetaks are detached for SAR and liaison duties to ships and stations as required.

Flying off Ramakrishna Beach. Alouette IIIs were ordered by the Indian Navy in 1962 but were requisitioned by the IAF during the Sino-Indian War. The Navy received its Alouette IIIs in 1964 and these formed a flight aboard INS Vikrant. Later, INAS 321 "Angels" was formed in 1969 and its Chetaks have been detached for SAR and liaison duties to ships and stations as required. A Chetak flight also served in Antarctica. At the time of this photo, the type had completed nearly 52 years in naval service.

Flying off Ramakrishna Beach. Alouette IIIs were ordered by the Indian Navy in 1962 but were requisitioned by the IAF during the Sino-Indian War. The Navy received its Alouette IIIs in 1964 and these formed a flight aboard INS Vikrant. Later, INAS 321 "Angels" was formed in 1969 and its Chetaks have been detached for SAR and liaison duties to ships and stations as required. A Chetak flight also served in Antarctica. At the time of this photo, the type had completed nearly 52 years in naval service.
