Bhubaneswar: Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT) of the Indian Air Force (IAF) displayed their skills during an airshow held over Kuakhai bank at Baliyatra ground here on Friday.
SKAT is one of the nine aircraft display teams across the world. The aim of the aerobatic display is to showcase the professionalism and skill of the Indian Air Force pilots as well as to instill a sense of patriotism in the youth of the country.
The IAF team is likely to exhibit the air show again near the Raj Bhavan at Puri on September 18. The IAF had earlier performed such an air show in Cuttack in 2016.
The Commissionerate of Police has made elaborate arrangements to ensure a smooth airshow. Yesterday, the IAF team carried out mapping and checked the ground features so that spectators can witness and enjoy it fully.
