Surya Kirans and FAF Team @ Hindan AFS
Today I was lucky to see them perform. The SK's have a new trick - a synchro 180 deg cross by two aircraft per side, instead of one as before. The French team showed some great stuff - one which the Kiran couldnt possibly do, an outside turn with at least 1-2 (-) G in the turn. Their inverted synchros were good too. Its obvious that the Alphajet has a great engine response - the snappy position changing showed that. Last of all, their initial run in were far apart, about 15-20m, and just when I was wondering why, each of them did a point roll - in an 8 aircraft formation! Great show - made up for yesterday, all right.

Talking of aerobatic shows in Hindon, I must have seen 50 or so there before I got tired of them for a die hard aero fan like me. So after that I would sometime raise my head to watch them up performing barrel rolls. But that was many years ago, and I am now revving up to see IAF aerobatic shows.
Talking of -ve G turns, the first one that saw was M2000 do that in Singapore show some 10 years ago, only an aero buff can appriciate that maneuover.

Suryakirans are changing a lot .
They have added few things after the they saw the red arrows.
I hope they will add something after they saw the French.
Will it be possible to give a joint display by a mix of red arrows & SKs or something like that
That wud be a mix of aircrafts but even the russian knights operate with MiG-29s & Su-27s

I think that the Russian Knights only use Flankers (& Su-25's). The Mig-29's are from another Russian team - the Swifts. Yes they have performed formation maneuvers together. Doing all those stunts in 2 different a/c's is a real feat as it is bloody hard. Just shows what classy teams they are.ameya wrote:
