Those magnificent flying machines

February 8, 2007
While every Surya Kiran display is enthralling, the most popular is the 'heart in the sky' formation.

The team has a total of 13 pilots, all from the IAF's fighter stream, of whom only 9 fly at any given time.

The team can carry out 30 displays in a year. The regular displays include Air Force Day Celebrations at Palam, and the graduation parades of the Air Force Academy and the National Defence Academy.
