Bharat Rakshak

As all the people will start uploading their pics.. I thought of creating a single thread for this purpose only.. found out on web to start with..

1) Airshow pics
http://ashishtibrewal.fotopic.net/c315975.html

from Ashish.. on Fotopic..

Premal got a good video.... currently the size is approx 2GB.. he is looking at reducing the size and editing the unwanted stuff.. where to put??

Admins can remove or merge this thread once we get a good collection ...

It will be a good idea to close the BR Mumbai meet thread and let this one run.

I think there are a couple of postors on BRF who can host 2 gigs easily. I would love to have that on my machine to begin with.

Keep 'em coming.

Excellent pictures. Loved the SKAT pic.

All the pylons of the Sukhois except the two near each wingtip are removed. What are these pylons carrying? Interestingly I checked the Russian Knights website, they fly with all the pylons.

Dunno if this can be viewed outside IIT ot not...

Nops..cannot

Nope can't be viewed outside IIT-B.

Nice picture, nice pictures indeed

Specially like the one with the two seat Mig-29.

Thank you Mumbaikars. There are some seriously good pics there.

Rustom,

Welcome to BRF and also to BR Mumbai gang.

Rustom... Welcome to the Gang.. Well to clarify.. those pictures are not mine.. they belong to Ashish

Hey guys thanks for such a warm welcome.
I really appreciate that.

Great pictures by Ashish and Rustom. I think the sun being ahead of the camera has bought out a haze ridden effect on the pics, but Ashish managed some good pics. The Jag formation, the refueller formation etc.

Thanks Jagan.
I also have 32 small videos that span over a total of ten minutes. When zipped, the file size of the videos is 21MB. I really want to share them with you guys, but I need a host. I already made 1 tripod account for my pics & it is packed up.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can put up the videos?

Hi Rustom,

If you can zip the individual video files to small files less than 10MB, then email that to me at jaganpvsATgmailDOTcom. I will put them up .

Jagan

Wilco Jagan. You will get them within the next 2 days.
Thanks & Cheers,
R

or

http://www.aero.iitb.ac.in:8081/~rishi/Airshow//

These were taken by Mr. Nagaprabhanjan Bellari of KReSIT, IITB.

Use mplayer for window$ to open these files. I think these are .avi (or .divx) but cant say. (Note: mplayer is not Windows Media Player)

n-joi!

Rishi

These are GREAT pics but you ALL are mofos!!! You might as well be paki for taking these pics!!!!

What does the placard on the MKI say? What does the placard on the Tekon(?) say? Is that the Tekon for the Kh-59 or the LDP for the KAB-500??

Can Rustom's pics be made bigger???? How big? He has the clearest shot to the pod.

finally, clear shots of the new batch MKIs with the anti-glare black paint just above the radome ! GJ, does that now prove that the mythical beasts are in fact well in existence ?!

I didnt see the Sr. Nos. are they SB029 and beyond? If so yes, if not...meh...they DONT exist.

i have downloaded two files.... Divx does not play them....

but the Xing player does the job very well.... but the playback window is very small....

anyways.... thanks for posting them....

I can provide a decent amount of bandwidth if needed. Feel free to ask.

Guys could you share info on what gear you guys use to take pictures ??? My gear is

Nikon F-80 SLR Body
Sigma 28-135mm Zoom Lens
Nikkor 50mm AF 1.8 Lens
Kenko 420-800mm Telezoom Lens

I have got a lot of very good pictures on the Static Display...
The Sun at the Airshow ruined most of my pictures.

I sincerely believe we photographers should team up for all future events including the next one...The Airshow at Yelahanka in 2005...or is there any one before that one.....

Manish R. Karnik

Oh Yeah....I forgot...if you are in Bombay I can help you in trimming the size of your videos...I have all the gear...so if you need help drop me a mail on fantumfan2003@yahoo.com

I scanned all my neggies and they are very huge...about 3MB each snap so I'll have to tim them and upload them on yahoo pictures...

Good pics.

GeorgeJ, the KAB-500Kr seeker module is TV guided and requires no pod. Incidentally, I can't spot the LDP/pod in question...

I wonder why they don't show the whole KAB-500Kr?

The Jaguar-IB has RWR which means that it's from the new batch.

Hi the LDP pod front and rear were covered o I did not photograph it but I got a good shot of the 1000kg Matra LGB. BTW the pod was an Atlis not a Litening.

fantumfan2003 - your username is not acceptable as per forum guidelines. Please email admins, and check you email.

Once you download the file, rename give them a .mpeg extention with the name. you know, if you download vertical_charlie, rename it as vertical_charlie.mpeg, and it plays great on the Windows Media player.
I am running on XP if that makes a difference.

Since your username issue iscoming up again and agian, I have taken the liberty to change it to 'mkarn' . Please Login using mkarn. If you want a different login please email the shiv or me

Yes folks, JT-073 is indeed an upgraded Jaguar-IB from HAL's latest batch of 17 Jaguar-IBs, checked out by me at HAL B'lore, earlier this year.

If you sat in this one, consider yourself more 'up to date' than doing the same in an Su-30MKI. Life really sucks does'nt it?

fantumfan, can you describe the cockpit(s)? Which squadron was this one from? I assume it's from "Bulls".

so Harry, the latest batch of 17 Jag IBs are more or less night-attack Jags ? and are they being distributed among the squadrons instead of forming a dedicated night-attack Jag squadron ?

Jagan there seems to be a prolem with my gmail account. I cant attach my zip. I cut it down to 20 MB. Can I send it to you via msn or icq please?

They'll only be night capable if they carry the Litening.

The two squadrons involved in testing the new Jaguars at HAL were No.5 and No.14.

Incidentally, including the last 20 Jaguar-ISs and 17 Jaguar IBs, the total number of Jaguars acquired would be nearly 170! ( JS101-JS135, JT051-JT055, JS136-JS193 (HAL), JT056-JT065 (HAL), JM251-JM262 (HAL, possibly more), plus the 15 units delivered in 1999 and 17+20 new units)

Yep you are right...I didnt see the image at max res. Well its still the first time. The placard does say:


Looks like the front of this:


BTW can someone look at Rustom MKI pic and guesstimate what the 'TAKE OFF WEIGHT' is on the placard?

Why is the above "Bulgy" in the rear while this is straght?

The one posted by George seem to be the 1500 version.

KAB 1500,

Its 34K something. Certainly not 38K+. Too bad.

I dont see 4 i see an 8...even you see an 8...you just dont know it yet.

Jagan:
yeah its a seeker off a KAB 1500 ( its tagged as 500). But I dont think the seekers are any different.
