The much-anticipated air show of the Indian Air Force’s Suryakiran Aerobatic Team (SKAT), scheduled for October 26 in Ahmedabad, has been cancelled, following a successful performance in Mehsana on October 24. SKAT, renowned as Asia’s only nine-aircraft aerobatic team, has showcased its precision flying and breathtaking stunts across various countries since its formation in 1996. This cancellation is disappointing for aviation enthusiasts, particularly after the team’s successful earlier shows in Gujarat this year. The significance of such performances lies in promoting India’s aviation capabilities and enhancing public engagement with defense forces, reflecting the nation’s commitment to excellence in aerial displays and military readiness.
