**Hyderabad, December 6, 2024** – The Indian Air Force’s Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT) captivated Hyderabad residents on Friday with a breathtaking display of aerobatics. The nine-aircraft team, flying Hawk Mk 132 advanced fighter training aircraft, performed a series of impressive maneuvers including loops, rolls, and inverted flying against the backdrop of the winter sun.
The low-flying spectacle, performed as a preview for Sunday’s anticipated air show over Hussainsagar Lake, drew crowds across the city. Commuters near Hussainsagar stopped to watch, and many captured the performance on their phones. An SKAT official, speaking anonymously, highlighted the rigorous training required for the pilots to maintain the team’s incredibly close formations—a mere five meters apart.
Sunday’s air show over Hussainsagar Lake is scheduled for 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and is expected to draw large crowds.
