witnessed enthralling stunts performed by helicopter display team 'Sarang', and 'Surya Kiran', Russian-made Yakovlevs and SKYCATS- Scandinavian Air Show aerobatics teams.

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) developed Light Utility Helicopter (LUH), Cheetal helicopter, Advanced Light Helicopters (ALH), Light Combat Helicopter (LCH), Hindustan Turboprop Trainer-40 (HTT-40), Dornier Do 228 along with indigenously upgraded Hawk Mk132, named as Hawk-i and vintage Tiger Moth aircrafts which performed breath taking manoeuvres.

Homegrown LCA (Tejas) along with Sukhoi (Russian), Gripen (Swedish), Rafale (French), F16 (US), Pilatus (Swiss) aircrafts roared the skies with their daredevilry stunts.

Embraer 145 Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft equipped with the first ever Active Electronic Scanning Array (AESA) radar, and LUH were displayed for the very first time at the Aero show.

It was a special occasion for Surya Kiran Aerobatics Team (SKAT) as they marked their 500th public display since formation in 1996.

SKAT, with a fleet of brand new single engine jet powered advanced Hawk aircraft and redefined manoeuvres, was back after having skipped two editions of the Aero India.

The Hawk aircraft are faster and more manoeuvrable than the Kiran aircraft SKAT used earlier.

There was also a static display of HTT-40, upgraded Jaguar and Mirage 2000, LCH and LUH at the air show along with few foreign aircraft.

Elaborate security and traffic management arrangements were put in place by the city police for the smooth conduct of the event.
