| Re: Aero India 2013 - Pictures Some pictures from my side. More coming up:           Ground systems by Rafael: Built on MAN, Mercedes and our very own TATA truck chassis       Desi Flight simulator by NAL: Unfortunately, this was not attractive, and the operator himself couldnt carry out a successful landing. And yet, the system did not throw up a 'Fail' Message    Last edited by audioholic : 8th February 2013 at 23:11. |

 the most shocking part was the landing - when it had its wheels down, it had already crossed 10% of the runway and I was like no way it's gonna stop before the runway gets over!! But it did! From touch down to complete stop, the C-17 used only 300mts!!  I know in know.. I'll post the video for you guys to see it for yourself! Last edited by GTO : 11th February 2013 at 15:30.

Have to admit it was a total lack lustre experience. Right from the confusion with the Registration ID and online payment and getting the tickets Earlier this week, had stood in the Axis bank counter for 1 hour in the hot sun only to be told that you have to register and pay online and then collect the tickets at Axis after showing valid ID. Then they mention come on Friday at 9:30 AM after registering. Next day at Axis bank, they have stopped issuing tickets without notice. Really dis-organized, I wonder how they would treat account holders. Then its a long drive to Yelahanka Gate 5 and more than a KM walk from the parking lot to collect the ticket. Finally got the tickets after so much struggle and then thought atleast it is worth the effort. Today, at the venue, of course, the crowd management, parking was done well, have to give them credit. But the air-show itself was boring, I felt it was much toned down compared to previous air shows. May be cost cutting or dis-interest to show as the Rafale fighter jet deal has already been done. Just the LCH, One Hercules transport plane flying around, One Dassault Rafale Fighter jet showing its speed and agility and nimbleness(which was excellent) and then 4 brightly colored Sukhois flying slowly in boring formation, followed by the ALH hovering around in the hot sun. Commentry part was also missing. Come lunch time and everybody was running to the stalls leaving the show and many people left quite early. Maybe it wound have been better during the weekdays. Rather than take all the trouble to get tickets and go inside, its best to watch the air show from the road or behind the facility. Last edited by for_cars1 : 9th February 2013 at 18:31. | |

 . When some one claimed F-16 is taking off an air force official corrected him saying F-16 won't be flying. It's only for display. I am 0 when it comes to planes so I better believed what he said  | ||
