One pilot died after two aircraft from the Indian Air Force (INF) aerobatics team, known as Surya Kiran (Rays of the Sun), crashed while rehearsing for Aero India Show 2019.

There were three pilots in total on both jets – one died while the two others ejected safely, local media reported, citing officials.
