			==History==
	The team started training for aerobatics in late 2001. The Squadron Commander of [[INAS 551]], then, was Cdr J.S. Tewatia. The work-up at that time was, however, informal. The drive gained formal momentum in the latter half of 2002. The paint scheme of the aircraft was changed to the current one and the aircraft were modified for smoke emission with the inboard stations modified for carriage of kerosene tanks mixed with colour dyes (without a dye, kerosene puts out white smoke). The Team was initially called as Sagar Kiran and it is under this name that the team made its formal inaugural debut display (then with only three aircraft) in Kochi, India on 11 May 2003 for the Golden Jubilee of the Indian Naval Aviation. The founding Leader of the Team was Cdr. Surendra Ahuja.		The team started training for aerobatics in late 2001. The Squadron Commander of [[INAS 551]], then, was Cdr J.S. Tewatia.

'''Sagar Pawan''' ([[Sanskrit]] for 'sea breeze') is the aerobatic demonstration team of the [[Indian Navy]]'s [[Indian Naval Air Arm|Aviation Arm]]. It is one of the only two naval aerobatic teams in the world, the other being the [[Blue Angels]] of the [[United States Navy|US Navy]].

The team uses four [[Hindustan Aeronautics]] [[HAL Kiran|HJT-16 Kiran Mk.2]] [[trainer aircraft]], and is based at the Naval Air Station [[INS Hansa]] in [[Dabolim]], [[South India|Southern India]]. The [[color scheme|colour scheme]] used by the aircraft is dark blue on white.

The team started training for aerobatics in late 2001. The Squadron Commander of [[INAS 551]], then, was Cdr J.S. Tewatia. The work-up at that time was, however, informal. The drive gained formal momentum in the latter half of 2002. The paint scheme of the aircraft was changed to the current one and the aircraft were modified for smoke emission with the inboard stations modified for carriage of kerosene tanks mixed with colour dyes (without a dye, kerosene puts out white smoke). The Team was initially called as Sagar Kiran and it is under this name that the team made its formal inaugural debut display (then with only three aircraft) in Kochi, India on 11 May 2003 for the Golden Jubilee of the Indian Naval Aviation. The founding Leader of the Team was Cdr. Surendra Ahuja.

The formation of the team gave the Indian Naval Air Squadron 551 a new role. The squadron had on some occasions in the past also attempted to set up an aerobatic team and but the attempts were informal and were not sustained for long enough to assume any significant formality. The other members of the inaugural team in 2003 were Lt. Cdr. Yogesh Garud (who later, as a Commander, led the team) and Lt. Cdr. N. Thiagarajan. The team's name was later changed to the present name of Sagar Pawan. The new name was selected from among a few others that were suggested by the then Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Naval Command Vice Admiral Arun Prakash (later Admiral and CNS). The team is also referred to as INSPAT - Indian Navy Sagar Pawan Aerobatic Team or SPAT. Since then the other team leaders have been Cdr. Sameer Mehra, Cdr. Yogesh Garud and Cdr. Satyen Vartak.

The team is led by Cdr Yashwant Hemant Karkare. Since inception the Team has performed in [[Kochi, India|Kochi]], [[Visakhapatnam]], [[Mumbai]] ([[Gateway of India]]), Pune ([[National Defence Academy|NDA, Khadakvasla]]), [[Lonavala]] ([[INS Shivaji]]) and a number of other locations as also at their home location in Goa. They have also performed for the [[International Film Festival of India]]. The team members use every opportunity to interact with their Air Force counterparts, [[Surya Kiran]]s, who also fly the same aircraft, and the [[Royal Air Force]]'s [[Red Arrows]] who have performed in Goa on a couple of occasions. INAS 551 was awarded the Chief of the Naval Staff's Unit Citation for its contribution to the Navy as a training squadron and for its contribution in setting up an aerobatic team.

On 3 March 2010, an aircraft of the Sagar Pawan team crashed in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]] while performing in an airshow.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8546735.stm</ref> Pilot Commander Suresh Kumar Maurya and co-pilot [[Rahul Nair|Lt Cdr Rahul Nair]] were killed in the crash.
