and we are operating this aircraft since 60s.
indians need to take some lessons from us

We had an airforce even before the existence of Pakistan, take a leaf out of this note and please sit back down!

The crew should be safe.

As for Aircraft , we have enough resources to replace them.

You need to replace the idiot who smashed it against the pole in the first place.

What lesson, Zia's death ?

That lesson will be taught to you by the CIA when you get closer to the USA.

Is this guy for real?

His perspective is that India was created from England. So he claims British AF as Indian AF.

Founded 8 October 1932; 84 years ago

The Indian Air Force was officially established on 8 October 1932.Its first ac flight came into being on 01 Apr 1933. It possessed a strength of six RAF-trained officers and 19 Havai Sepoys (literally, air soldiers). The aircraft inventory comprised of four Westland Wapiti IIA army co-operation biplanes at Drigh Road as the "A" Flight nucleus of the planned No.1 (Army Co- operation) Squadron.

It was independent and restricted to only India as a whole..

negligence by the pilot for not following the centreline

negligence by the pilot for not following the centreline

Apparently there may have been another line in the area mistaken for the center line. It is being investigated who is at fault here.

 

[Nilgiri]

Thanks for pointing it out, we recommend Continual service improvements and who best to teach us that then the Pakistani's. @Nilgiri your thoughts?

I generally ignore trolls these days...its a waste of time.

Apparently it was achieved only for INR 4,750/- a fraction of a fraction of a missile cost

This Topic has been debated and beaten to death over, I am not going to be involved in useless merry go around. Ps, can you convey your arguments in a tone and language which is elegant and conforms to the decorum of this forum?

Almost 6 decades of service.

From 60-2017.


You screwed over 2 in 1 year.



So called THOISE airfield is 3000+ meters.

Skardu AB is 2500 meters.

Daulat Beg Oldi is 5100 meters. There a difference of 2000 meters , and those who have had studied basic Geography in schools will understand that its no small .
Most continents have their highest peak under this point.

Very optimistic...
Please mantain this atitude.... good for us

Unlike few nations who bomb their own land and citizens, India Cares for its citizens. And these pilots have done a fantastic job whole two months saving around 130 people including children , from the same air field.

As Indians we would obviously choose even 1 life over our 1 C130J , after all that 1 life has paid taxes and is entitled to have that aircraft used there to rescue them.

B.S.
Over 10 PAF C-130s have been lost including 4 in ground collisions.

Also we lost only one C-130 (in 2014).
This one is a moderate incident where only a wing and a propeller need replacement.
