On display at IAF Museum Shillong. Initially known as the Streak Shadow, the CFM Streak first flew in 1983. The IAF ordered 24 Streak Shadows in 1999 in the largest single order for microlights in the aviation industry. The tandem seat dual control microlight is powered by a Rotax 912-UL four-cylinder engine driving a three-bladed wooden propeller. It was used by the Adventure Cell, and to prevent bird hits at airfields. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
