Despite
inclement weather, the Surya Kiran Aerobatics Team (SKAT) Air Show was a
runaway success at Air Force Station Sirsa. The show that could not be started
at the scheduled time of 7:30Am as it started raining from the wee hours on
27th March, seemed to be announced postponement but the rains Gods also perhaps
did not want to disappointment scores of children and equal number of adults
accompanying them. The drizzle paused for a couple of hours and that was
temptation enough for the well prepared Air Force and Surya Kiran Aerobatic
Team (SKAT) to take to the air. To initiate the show Gp Capt. GS Bedi himself
took off a MIG fighter for about 15 minutes in the air showing its majesty and
Power to the stunned audience who were perhaps all there to witness just the
Hal made Kiran MK-II aerobatics. The agile MIG warmed up the spectators as they
had been waiting since morning in the cold wet windy weather in the open. Soon
after the MIG landed the 6 Kiran MK-II planes, led by the team leader JT Kurien
taxied towards the runway and took flight in serial order.
And there after their show in the air with tricolor smoke and formations that
elated and enthralled everybody in such magnanimity that time seemed to have
stopped for the duration the Red Kirans were airborne. The formations and all
was a spectacle best viewed with naked eye but those who were not there the
Sirsa News Web Video in this NEWS post and Sirsa News You Tube Channel may
compensate a little!
Elite from the city, administration, judiciary, educationists, business,
politics, farmers and the commoners were all together with their eyes towards
the cloudy skies to gaze onto super stars of another kind, the Red Machines
being tamed by trained Air Force pilots.
At the end of the show children, Gheroed, Gp. Capt. GS Bedi, JT Thomas and
other red uniformed pilots for their autographs. The adults were seen
commenting that it’s not just Film Stars and Sports stars who are sought by
autograph seekers the men in uniform are also.

Inputs from http://www.sirsanews.com/ How the
color smoke is formed in such Aerobatic Planes:
The smoke trails left by the
aerobatic aeroplanes are made by releasing diesel into the exhaust; this
oxidises straight away, leaving a white smoke trail, Dyes are added to produce
the different colours. The diesel is stored perhaps in the pod on the underside
of the plane; originally designed to carry a cannon, it houses three tanks: 1
for pure diesel for white trail and two tanks of green- and red-dyed diesel.
The smoke system uses about ten gallons per minute; therefore each plane can
trail smoke for a total of several minutes.
