Great thanks to my
dear friend Raghu who got Business passes for us :)
Absolutely had no
expectations while walking kilometers under the hot sun of the Yelahanka Air
Force Station. Visiting from stand to stand at the Aeroshow-Exhibition hall, I
was getting to learn so many things & was getting family to this new world
of missiles, fighter crafts etc.
One of the principal
lessons of this Aeroshow is perhaps that India is now a major world power,
forcing major foreign armament suppliers to line up to offer their latest
gadgets which could make a difference in case of a conflict with China (or even
Pakistan); and now, the Air Force would be used.
I was left breathless
& with open mouth with the Incredible acrobatic Flying Bulls of the Czech
Republic, led by a 50 year-plus female pilot; the indigenous Sarang helicopter
team flying colourfully painted HAL Dhruv choppers and of, course, the Rafale
of Dassault Aviation.
It was a brilliant
day, now I have a new respect for fighter pilots & Indian Air Force.
