Suryakiran, Sarang teams steal hearts at Aero India 2021 dress rehearsal in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: Aero India 2021’s full dress rehearsal on Tuesday lifted the hearts of defence personnel and government employees and their families for whom special entry was granted to watch the three-day event a day ahead of its inauguration on Wednesday.

What stole the show was a joint aerobatics demonstration by India’s two most popular defence aerobatic teams – Suryakiran and Sarang. This was the very first time that these two teams have performed aerobatics together in a joint performance, stopping hearts with a 13-aircraft aerobatic display – the most that the event has yet seen till date. The star attraction of the show, apart from their heart-stopping deeds, was the two teams drawing a heart each using trail smoke against the background of the blue sky, triggering gasps among the audience watching the spectacle from below.
