TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ Two jets of the Indian Air Force’s Suryakiran Aerobatic Team collided in Bengaluru a day before the Aero India show begins in the city. The pilots of the two jets have ejected safely, initial reports said. The accident took place during a rehearsal session ahead of the mega show.
The accident took place at the Yelahanka airbase in north Bengaluru. A video showed thick, black plumes of smoke rising from the airbase. A video on local television channels showed the two jets coming down, possibly amid a manoeuvre.
Aero India 2019 will be held between February 20 and 24. The stunning formations by the Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT) in the Hawk advanced jet trainer, the Sarang team in the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) and the daring manouveres by its Jaguars, Mirages and MiGs are some of the highlights of the aero show. Thousands of visitors are expected to attend the five-day biennial event. Bengaluru has been hosting the aero show since it started in 1996. The last Aero India show was held in February 2017.
