He was probably relieved he got to the ground safely considering its safety record and the fact that Indian Airforce pilots consider it a flying coffin.

I think you are mistaking yourselves for us.

Its you lot who are in the habit of killing foreign dignitaries in crashes.

Now Fremch Air Force chief will alsp flyin in Tejas in a few days.

After that Luftwaffe Chief in March.

Well and good. But when is Indian Navy inducting Tejas? Also how many squadrons of Tejas has IAF deployed so far?

 

[Maarkhoor]

Indian are cheer-leading when USAF chief flies in tailless, toothless underdeveloped jet which fails to impress their own forces who contently refuse to induct it.
30+ years of development and they produce only a worthless chassis and have to import 70% parts including engines from outside.

That's a Mirage.
Now you are just making me feel embarrassed for you.

Indian are cheer-leading when USAF chief flies in tailless, toothless underdevelopmed jet which fails to impress their own forces who contently refuse to induct it.
30+ years of development and they produce only a worthless chassis and have to import 70% parts including engines from outside.

We are cheerleading coz the USAF Chief flying the Tejas pops some carefully cultivated bubbles in this forum.

Toothless?
Watch the second video, I'm sure pakistanis are soooo accustomed to HOBS based off of HMDS like we are with Tejas.

Refuse to induct?
Tejas has started induction a year ago.
IAF only recently issued RFPs for 83 Tejas.

USAF is going to order 5 squadrons of mighty Tejas to replace aging F-22 raptors.. Indians not agreeing..

 

[GriffinsRule]

I think USAF chief wanted to go to a safari in India and experience the endangered LCA before it goes extinct =P

But joking aside, it is perhaps part of their push for Indian babus to buy american fighters to sabotage any chances for India to get out of its dependency and making their own fighters. Their SEF program to buy fighters from abroad will be the end of Tejas, even if some are inducted in token numbers.

From a professional side, any pilot would jump at the chance to fly in a fighter foreign to them. Doesn't hurt for self-promotion as well as photo-ops. PAF has been found lacking in marketing and promotion as a twin-seater JF-17 should have been on the cards since the beginning.

The Chief of US Air Force, General David L Goldfein, flew a sortie in the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas on Saturday at the IAF station in Jodhpur.

Goldfein arrived in India on Thursday, on a visit to boost defence ties between the two nations.

In November last year, the defence minister of Singapore Ng Eng Hen was flown in a Tejas fighter jet.

The indigenous LCA is a single-seat, single-jet engine, multirole light fighter.

Indigenously developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency, and produced by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Tejas, as a fourth generation aircraft, can fly at 1,350 km per hour, with a payload capacity of 4,000 kg.

Tejas is powered by American F414-INS6 engine, so the USAAF chief dare to fly it.

I wonder would he even sit in the Plane if it was powered by Kaveri engine
