For the record, today's flypast coverage was the best it's been in years, especially given the miserable weather. No sense getting precious about inter-cutting with pre-recorded footage โ€” the broadcasted product was outstanding, own it!

This horseshit needs to end. Mi-17V-5s have had five prior accidents. Two were hard landings with no fatals. Of the fatal mishaps, one was a parachute candling into tail rotor, and one a flood relief sortie in the worst possible conditions. Last was the Feb 2019 frat.

Incredibly clear video. Turkish Falcon on the defensive and the Greek Mirage sticks with him throughout.

Big day for many of these gents. Arriving in Ambala on Wednesday, the first time the base will receive an all-new type since the Jaguar -- coincidentally, those arrived on a similar date, 27 July 1979! (pic via @Indian_Embassy )

60 years since the HAL HF-24 Marut first flew. Photos from the collection of Pushpindar Singh Chopra. The Marut was possibly his all time favourite aircraft.

An incredible end to the week. So grateful to the @IAF_MCC and veteran fraternity for making this surreal moment possible. 56 years after my great grandad did his first MiG-21 solo with No. 45 Sqn, I was able to see and touch the very same aircraft, now preserved at Nashik.

What went down over Subz Kot at half past ten on 27th Feb then? How did every third person in J&K see multiple chutes, and why did @OfficialDGISPR say on video and in writing that Pak had multiple pilots in custody?

Getting a lot of qs on whether the US included the F-16s Pakistan bought from Jordan in its count. The answer is YES: even third-party transfers of US equipment must go through the US government. To clear up the confusion, I've updated the story.

Today was one of, if not the absolute longest non-stop @IAF_MCC @LockheedMartin C-130J flights - Srinagar to Kanyakumari. Pic one over Srinagar, second over Kanyakumari, third at Trivandrum. They carried 3 tonnes of Covid relief material, covering 5004 km, 10h 10m flight time.

Interestingly the IAF Chief confirms that the new Rafales have fired weapons since their arrival in India, in addition to working up with the other aircraft and systems of the IAF in-country. โ€œReady to goโ€ as of today.
