Bhubaneswar: Citizens of Bhubaneswar witnessed a dazzling exhibition of aerobatics in the sky on Friday by a team of Indian Air Force. The exhibition by Suryakiran Aerobatic Team was held at Balijatra ground on Kuakhai river bank near Jaripatana from 10 am. A fleet of nine aircraft made several manoeuvres during the air show, which was held to commemorate 75 years of India’s Independence.
The aircraft made loops and also formed the shape of a diamond while flying past.
Odisha Governor Ganeshi Lal witnessed the aerobatic display, which was organised by Eastern Air Command. Air Marshal Dilip Patnaik thanked Odisha Government for “making such lovely arrangements” for all the people to see.
Suryakiran (sunrays) will conduct another air show near Raj Bhavan in Puri on Sunday. The IAF had held an air show in Cuttack in 2016 to mark the birth centenary of former chief minister Biju Patnaik.
