Eurofighters escort Indian President in rare honour

[Dr. NooB NinjA]

She is right there on top of the most useless presidents we have ever had. If it would have been Kalam I would have escorted him too. Pratibha Patil, I would not escort her with a flying donkey!!

Its not that Pratibha Patil was being escorted, instead it was The president Of India who was being escorted.. Honor was given to the visiting head of the state not any individual..!!!
And yea i agree that she is the most useless President we ever had..!! No doubt about it..!!!

PS : Donkeys have better work to do than escorting Pratibha Patil... And i think even if the donkeys are asked to escort her, they will refuse stating self respect issues..!!!

Wow, an airbrake became the "co-passenger shield".

This is expected. India is a global player and heavy arm-importer(correct me if incorrect). Our jolly female PM will never receive such reception.

Its called protocol...How dumb these Journos can be....

 

[Contract Killer]

At least for few minutes/hrs, Mrs Pratibha Patil must have felt like a President. Otherwise all the time she just a remote controlled stamp of 10 Janpath.

 

[WHITESMOKE]

I hate our current useless president. Wish Kalam is back. Useless stamp of useless government. Of-course with useless PM

Indian president himself/herself is a remote control of PM according to Indian Constitution. He cannot do anything without consulting PM be it declaring emergency, declaring war,dissolving the parliament etc. He is just supposed to be a stabilizing force when nation is in b/n the outgoing and incoming government after an election.

There was another 'gem' from Kerala some days ago. A pistol was missing from Kerala Police Academy. The reporter went on describing that the pistol is from Belgium and costs lakhs but it was clear from the photograph that the pistol is 9mm Browning Hi-Power locally made at IOF Ishapur. I think the reporter just googled Browning 9mm and concluded that its made in FN Belgium.

Something like below, difference would be that it would be a two person craft and they might have opened the second one. Though I am not sure. Any expert opinion.

I doubt they d open the canopy mid air

It's not.No nation is bound by protocol to escort presidential planes with fighters.It is a courtesy call,a gesture of goodwill and respect.

Remote control of PM is fine............. but remote controlled by 10 Janpath........ is sick.

Indeed, it's like giving a protocol. Here you see PAF escorting King of Jordan's aircraft.

now what does PAF has to do with this?

$1000 per capita GDP
65 years life expectancy
50% female literacy rate
no stable electricity supply for its citizens
freedom fighters control 20-30% of the land.

I don't understand what is being honored.
