First in the IAF Rafale series of these multi-role combat aircraft from No. 17 Sqn. "Golden Arrows" rocketing into the air at Aero India 2021. This is the maiden participation of the Rafale at Aero India. The 'BS' prefix is in honor of Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa to thank the former IAF Chief for his role in procuring the much-needed jets, the first of which arrived on 29 July 2020 at Ambala AFS and was received by Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria, Chief of the Air Staff.
