One pilot was killed and two others ejected to safety on Tuesday after two aircraft of Indian Air Force’s aerobatic team Surya Kiran crashed near the airbase at Yelahanka, a suburb of Bengaluru.
The Hawk trainer jets, which grazed each other before crashing, were on practice sorties a day ahead of the Aero India 2019 opening.
Sunil Agarwal, ADGP, Fire Services, confirmed that one pilot was dead and two pilots were injured.
