"Indian Air Force Suryakiran Aerobatic Team Successfully Conducts Air Display at Bhavnagar"

The Suryakiran Aerobatic Team of the Indian Air Force successfully conducted a spectacular air display over Bor Talav (Gaurishankar Lake), Bhavnagar, today. This marked the first such event hosted by the city and showcased the highest standards of precision flying, coordination and professionalism of the Indian Air Force.

Nine red-and-white Hawk Mk-132 aircraft of the Suryakiran team executed a series of intricate aerobatic manoeuvres, including close formation flying, wingtip-to-wingtip sequences, loops, rolls and inverted flying. The aircraft left distinctive smoke trails in saffron, white and green, reflecting the colours of the national flag. The display lasted approximately 30 to 40 minutes and was witnessed by a large number of citizens.

Established in 1996 and recognised as Asia’s only nine-aircraft aerobatic formation, the @Suryakiran_IAF team, commanded by Group Captain Ajay Dasarathi, once again demonstrated excellence in line with its motto *Sadaiva Sarvottam* — “Always the Best”.

In addition to the aerial display, the event included a motivational stall providing information on career opportunities in the Indian Air Force, an Air Simulator facility, and a musical performance by the Air Force Band of Headquarters South Western Air Command. These elements enhanced public engagement and outreach.

The air show was organised under the joint auspices of the Bhavnagar Municipal Corporation and the District Administration of Bhavnagar. Entry remained free for all citizens. The event was graced by Smt. @Nimu_Bambhaniya , Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, as Chief Guest, along with senior military officers and local leadership.

The Indian Air Force continues its tradition of bringing the skill and discipline of its aerobatic team to the public, strengthening the bond between the armed forces and the citizens while inspiring the younger generation to consider careers in the service of the nation.
