Aero India show: Metal birds awe spectators with aerial aerobatics

Bengaluru: A breathtaking display of air power and brilliant aerobatics by fighter jets and helicopters on Wednesday enthralled the audience at the 10th Aero India show where famed international aerobatic teams left the crowd awestruck with their death-defying stunts.
    First to hit the sky was a tiny Tiger Moth, the vintage aircraft that was once used as primary trainer aircraft for the Royal Air Force during World War II and was also the basic trainer aircraft in the IAF initially.
It was followed by India's Light Combat Aircraft Tejas which pulled off some stunts.
  Another Indian product that amazed all was the Light Combat Helicopter made by state-run HAL.

India's very own Indian aerobatics team 'Sarang' flown by young IAF helicopter pilots was the showstopper.
 The IAF Sarang Helicopter Display Team has the unique distinction of being one of only two helicopter display teams in the world, the other being 'Blue Eagles' of the British Army.
     The Sarang profile did its entry in an inverted wine glass formation. This was followed by various close formations in 'Line Astern' and 'Diamond' formation.
