IAF 2LST

To a query on the American Defence Security
Cooperation Agency notifying the Congress on the possible sale
of 10 Boeing C-17 transport aircraft to India through the
Foreign Military Sales route, Naik said the IAF expects the US
to send a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) soon.
"They will send us a letter of LOA from their side and
the progress will continue. We expect it shortly," he said.
Earlier, Naik unveiled the portrait of Arjan Singh in
the lobby of Akash Mess in the presence of the Marshal of the
Air Force, his family members and artist Sanjay Bhattacharya,
who had made the portrait.
"It is a very special privilege. Marshal is the only
five-star officer amongst all the three services in the
country at present. He is an icon as far as the IAF is
concerned. His exploits are very well known. So it is a
privilege for us to have a picture of his in the Akash mess,
which is a special Air Force mess," Naik said.
Arjan Singh said the portrait was a recognition of the
IAF's eight-decade contribution to the nation.
"I think it is not about the Marshal, but recognition
of the Air Force's eight-decade work. The Air Force has always
helped the country in not only fighting the enemy but also in
humanitarian work. I am quite sure that the IAF is really
well-organised, well-trained, and will continue to serve the
country," he said. PTI NCB
