Two aircraft of IAF's aerobatic team Surya Kiran crashed after grazing each other mid-air near here Tuesday, killing a pilot and injuring two who ejected to safety during a rehersal for the Aero India show.

Video clips of the incident showed the two jets crashing to the ground and bursting into flames near Yelahanka airbase after brushing against each other mid air, a day ahead of the five day event.

Thick black plumes of smoke were seen billowing from the mishap site moments later, with a man in the video yelling "Oh my God, oh my God."
