Suryakiran aerobatic display team
- The Indian Air Force (IAF) Suryakiraan aerobatic display team has completed 25 years.
- "Surya Kiran", which means 'rays of the sun', made its debut for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Air Force Administrative College on 15 September 1996.
- It is one of the few nine aircraft demonstration teams in the world and the only team in Asia.
- The team has carried out over 600 displays across the country and Southeast Asia.
- The team was disbanded in 2011 after the Aero India show due to a shortage of training aircraft in the IAF and was resurrected in 2015 on advanced jet trainer Hawk Mk-132 aircraft.
- This team, which has been the brand ambassador of the IAF, is also the 52 squadron of the IAF and is the youngest fighter squadron with the motto “Always the Best”.
