IAF Surya Kiran Team Performs First Aerobatic Air Show Over Meerut
The Indian Air Force's Surya Kiran aerobatic team performed its first air show over Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, featuring nine Hawk Mk-132 aircraft executing formations and stunts such as loops, barrel rolls, inverted flight, and the DNA manoeuvre. The jets left saffron, white, and green smoke trails, creating a tricolour effect. The event, held under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan initiative by central and state governments, attracted thousands including students, NCC cadets, and local residents. The two-day show highlights the team's precision and flying skills, with a main event scheduled for September 20.
