The Sarang Helicopter Display Team of the Indian Air Force has arrived in Egypt for the EI Alamein International Airshow, which is set to take place from 08 to 10 September 2026 at EI Alamein International Airport. The IAF Sarang team, the world's only five helicopter display team, will present a series of meticulously choreographed displays to showcase its precision, professionalism, and flying skills.
The team will utilize indigenously designed and manufactured Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv for these demonstrations. This participation marks another significant milestone in international engagements by the Indian Air Force, reflecting growing defence and diplomatic ties between India and Egypt.
The Sarang team is renowned for its demanding formation manoeuvres, close-proximity flying, and synchronised aerial sequences. The display highlights not only the exceptional skill and discipline of its pilots but also the capabilities of India's indigenous aerospace industry.
In addition to the famous 'Dolphin Leap' maneuver, the Sarang team will present a new manoeuvre called the Spot Stall Turn during the airshow. The event brings together leading Air Forces as well as professionals in the aerospace, defense, and space sectors from around the world. The Sarang display over Egyptian skies will add a distinctive dimension to the event, strengthening ties with other International teams.
