The chief of air staff will unveil the new pattern of combat uniform for Indian Air Force personnel on Air Force Day in Chandigarh on Saturday, officials said.

Air Force Day marks the official induction of the Indian Air Force in 1932.

Every year, the day is celebrated in the presence of the Indian Air Force chief and senior officers.

"There will be a parade in the morning at the Air Force station in Chandigarh. On the occasion, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari will unveil the new combat uniform for air force personnel," an IAF officer told reporters in Chandigarh.

"We already have a combat uniform, but the pattern will be changed into something called digital camouflage," he added.

The officer said nearly 80 helicopters and transport aircraft will take part in the flypast and demonstrations over Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh on Saturday afternoon.

However, the Chetak and Cheetah helicopters and transport aircraft Avro and Dornier will not be part of the flypast. -- PTI
