The elite Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT) of the Indian Air Force (IAF) that dazzled Pune skies on Friday after the convocation ceremony of the 147th course of the National Defence Academy (NDA), will again enthrall Pune citizens with their breath-taking aerobatics in the sky above Air Force Station Lohegaon on Saturday afternoon.

The Indian Air Force’s famed Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT), established in 1996, stands out as one of the elite few nine-aircraft aerobatic teams in the world and the only one in Asia. This team has performed over 600 displays across India and also at international air shows in countries such as China, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Singapore, and the UAE.

The team flies nine Hawk Mk132 aircraft manufactured under license in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. The formation’s breathtaking aerobatic displays are aimed at building confidence among citizens towards the capabilities of the IAF. The team’s pilots are selected twice a year for a three-year tour of duty from the fighter stream of the IAF.

The team conducted a mesmerising aerobatic display on Friday over the National Defense Academy celebrating the passing out of cadets of the 147th course after their convocation.
