The Indian Air Force - Suryakiran Aerobatic Team (Music by Les Lewis)

The Suryakirans are a nine aircraft aerobatic team of the Indian Air Force operating the HAL HJT16 Kiran Jet Trainers. The team is based at Air Force Station Bidar and regularly undertakes aerobatics display at various events across India and other countries in Asia.

This particular video was taken at the Combined Graduation Day parade at the Air Force Academy Dundigal in June 2005.

The soundtrack is the excellent "Mission Udaan Theme Song" by noted musician/singer Les Lewis of India.

The Mission Udaan song can be downloaded from the National Geographic India Website's Mission Udaan download page at http://www.nationalgeographic.co.in/explore/missionudaan/home.asp .
