Was buzzing around above my house... lots of action these days in chandigarh because of the fleet review on wednesday. Had SU 30's flyby last evening. was very cool.. but what is this and what does the airforce use it for?

It's an IAF micro-lite. It's based in Hindon, Ghaziabad. It's a part of Air Force Recreational programme.

Mel that would be incorrect. This micro lite is purely for recreational purpose and is a part of IAF's recreational team that is based in Hindon AFB, Ghaziabad, near New Delhi.
