On the question of choosing Bhopal for the celebration of Air Force Day, Air Marshal AK Bharti said that every year we do it in a new city. That's why we came to Bhopal this time, we are asked the same question in every city. Although Bhopal is a very nice city, the Air Force liked it very much. Along with this, we had done a study that fighter planes always have problems with birds, but according to our survey, very few birds were found here at our standard height. Which is a good thing for our air show.
