Rotary work splits cleanly into two halves here. Military: Chinooks departing at dusk and in two-ship, HAL Dhruv in Coast Guard and Air Force colours, the Sarang display team lifting off, Prachand LCH prototypes and Mi-17s transiting Yelahanka. Civil: the offshore and charter fleet working out of Juhu, Mumbai — AW139 and AW169, AS365 Dauphins on night operations, and an Mi-172 on civil charter.
Inaugural services, first-of-type arrivals, induction ceremonies and Aero India display flying.
Airline operations at Bengaluru and beyond: widebodies on approach, freighters on stand, night turnarounds.
Corporate and charter aviation with registrations and operators intact — Gulfstream, Global, Falcon, Praetor.
Indian Air Force and Navy types, visiting USAF heavy metal, and display teams — from the ground and the air.
Special and anniversary schemes photographed in service, the way they were commissioned to be seen.
