A Brief of Surya Kiran
Surya Kiran (Sanskrit: सूर्य किरण - Sun Rays) is an aerobatics demonstration team of the Indian Air Force, successors to the Thunderbolts. The Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT) was formed in 1996 to serve as the "Ambassadors of the Indian Air Force" and to "showcase the professionalism, the calibre and the mettle of the Indian Air Force". The team has since performed numerous demonstrations in various parts of the country and abroad, and is today among the three renowned nine-aircraft aerobatic teams in the world.
The squadron is primarily composed of the HAL HJT-16 Kiran Mk.2 military trainer aircraft and are based at the Bidar Air Force Station in Karnataka.
