Sarang is the helicopter formation display team of the Indian Air Force, one of only three in the world, the others being two British teams; the Blue Eagles of the Army Air Corps and the Black Cats of the Royal Navy. The team flies three HAL Dhruvs. Sarang means peacock in Sanskrit, and is also the national bird of India.
