| 2ND GARUDA Excercise IAF |
 |
Ex GARUDA II was conducted between 15th to the
30th of June, 2005, at the Istres Airbase in
France. It was the first time that the Indian Air
Force took part in an air exercise in Europe and
especially, the first time that it deployed its
Sukhoi 30K out of its borders. The only known
previous deployment was of the Jaguar Fighter
bombers in the USAF exercises in Alaska dubbed
Operation Cope Thunder in 2004.
GARUDA II is the second in series of the joint
exercises between the Indian Air Force and French
Air Force. GARUDA I was undertaken in February
2003 at the Indian Air Base of Gwalior, when four
Mirage 2000 RDI from the Canbric airbase
consituted the French participation.
The Indian detachment in GARUDA II consisted of
six Sukhoi-30K from the No.24 Squadron, Indian Air
Force, "Hawks" based in Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh,
roughly a 100km away from the India-Nepal Border.
The Air to Air refuelling component was provided
by two Illyushin Il-78MKI "Midas" of the No.78 Mid
Air Refuelling Squadron from Agra Air Force base.
The Sukhois left for Bareilly taking off for the
Indian base at Jamnagar on the western Indian
coast on June 9th. From Jamnagar, the aircraft
departed on June 12th for Jyanklis, in Egypt.
This six hour flight involved infight refuelling
along the way. The aircraft took off and reached
Istres on the 15th. In addition to the Illyushin
78 Refueller, an additional Illyushin 76 cargo
aircraft accompanied the detachment carrying the
ground support crew and equipment. The Indian
detachment was led by Group Captain Shreesh Mohan.
The French detachment consisted of five Mirage
2000B and a Mirage 2000C of the E.C. 2/5 "Island
of Orange France". These were soon joined by three
Mirage 2000-5 of the 1 /2 "Storks" of Dijon during
second half of the exercise. The Air Force had
also ensured the participation of a supply craft
C135 Fr of the ERV 93, of a E-3F AWACS of 36ème
EDCA, several Mirage 2000N of the 3 /4 "the
Limousin" and of two Tucano of the Division of
Flights of Living room of Provence.
Exercise GARUDA II made it possible for the Indian
airmen to familiarise themselves with the
procedures and activity of a major NATO airforce.
Since the exercise was held according to the
procedures of NATTO, it was a new experience for
the Indians. The Indians were particularly curious
to find out how thier existing know how would
perform in an environment with which they were not
familiar.

house".

Peterson was so intimidated by what he heard that
he did not touch the piano for over a week.
