I took a break from bird watching to see some different types of flying things at Aero India 2019, the biennial airshow held in Bangalore. Here's a photo tour...
Sukhoi SU-30 MKI...
Some helicopters...
AEWACS Embraer - Airborne early warning and control system...
Two of these recently played a major role in the bombing of terrorist training camps in Pakistan by IAF...
Yakovlev aerobatic team...
Two of the yakovlevs trying to make a heart...
More choppers...
The vintage Dakota DC-3 was operational in the Indian Air Force from 1947 to 1971. A restored version of the Douglas DC-3 caught everyone's attention...
The old workhorse was fully restored to its original glory in 2018...
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a Member of Parliament got the aircraft from scrap in 2011 and restored it to flying condition in UK before gifting it to the IAF...
Sarang helicopter display team...
USAF F-16...
Stunning images, Shiju. I've never been to an airshow. What a breathtaking range of aircraft to be able to have seen in flight!

ReplyDeleteSimply stunning set of images. I have to believe that flying helicopters in tight formation may be more difficult than jets. Really well done. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteThe clarity of your shots is amazing. I could almost see the eye colours of the pilots. What a fantastic collection here.
