Sherdils (Urdu: ﺸﻴر دﻝ; English: Lion Hearts) are an aerobatics display team of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF). The team is based out of the Pakistan Air Force Academy Asghar Khan, in Risalpur, Pakistan. Currently, it consists of nine Karakoram K-8P aircraft.
The Sherdils are not a full-time aerobatic team, rather the pilots are selected from the PAF Academy's Advanced Jet Training Squadron instructors, where cadets and young fighter pilots go through jet aircraft training. The Sherdils are responsible for preparing and performing formation aerobatics at national and international events.
