I just cant understand the tendency of all politicians – from George Bush-Bhai to Anthony-chettan – to be caught sitting behind the controls of aircraft – low tech or high tech. Most if not all of them look downright silly. As for the KT-1 , the logistical nightmare for the Indian Armed Forces increases !
my question to you SHIV
what about TEJAS-TRAINER ?????????
and INTERMEDIATE TRAINER
@ KVR
for a non aviator…it will feel awesome to sit behind the controls of any a/c….
remember your first cycle…pretty much low tech..but boy it was a rush
Do not underestimate the Koreans they are state of art in ship building and are aiming the same in Aircraft and nuclear energy field.
Well advised for India to get into some sort of alliance and harness Korean tech…..which also adds to china s irritation politically to see korean- indian alignment.
Remember we do not have anything like their Dokodo…….
this is all this stupid man is good for. sitting and getting his pic taken.
he was responsible for the SSN being cancelled (see ajai's blog).
what is that crazy blacklister doing sitting in the cockpit? he might be planning next to blacklist south korean companies as there is no one else left to blacklist

Why should people like you have problems with the Indian defence minister sitting in the cockpit of a Korean aircraft . Are you from the blacklisted company ? Something's burning ?
