Visitors took videos and photographs of the choppers, hovering above their heads, from the RK Beach Road and from their apartment balconies.
1st operational demo rehearsal, ahead of Navy Day celebrations, and it being a weekday, there was not much rush on the Beach Road, and the crowd enjoyed the breathtaking operations, as there was no jostling for space on the beach.
People watched in awe as fighter aircraft zipped past at close range, as they crisscrossed each other, moving in a circular path across the sky. The tactical exercises by the fighter aircraft of the Indian Navy were a visual treat to the visitors.
A box was placed and the naval personnel gave a running commentary on the displayed for the benefit of the general public. Some of the visitors were seen taking selfies with their family members with the choppers flying in the background at low heights.
Warships and submarines coming close to the coast and firing flares in the sky, provided a colorful spectacle in the sky. The operational demo ended with the illumination of the ships at dusk.
Two more operational demo rehearsals will be held from 4pm on November 30 and again on December 2 at RK Beach. The final Op Demo will be held December 4.
