Indian Air Force New Bus To Attract Youth. The IAF today flagged off a modified bus with simulator zone, glastron goggles and various aircraft models in a bid to encourage youth to pursue a career in the air force.
“This bus is basically meant for encouraging our youth all over the country…to get them acquainted to the IAF as a career, as a way of life. I think we need to reach out to all the young boys and girls to (motivate them to) join the air force,” IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha said.
Last year, the IAF had launched an air combat 3D mobile game to attract the next-generation youth.
The bus, which costs Rs 2 crore, will visit several educational institutes across the country.
The Induction Publicity Exhibition Vehicle boasts of touch panels, i-pads, simulator and video screens that students can use.
The vehicle has an information zone which would give aspirants all career related information. It also has an experience zone where one can discover the thrill of various IAF activities like Sarang aerobatics, flying among others through glastron goggles.
