Meanwhile, the Surya Kiran aerobatic team and a formation featuring the Boeing C-17 Globemaster added to the thrill of the air show. A large number of people gathered in Kashi to witness the spectacle. From children to the elderly, everyone was left enthralled by the valor of the Indian Air Force and the spectacular maneuvers performed by the aircraft.
