NO!!! Look at the wing position....... Fuselage Shape....

Mahindra was only a advertiser on the Airvan

No, they are not the same. What you are seeing here is the Gippsland GA8. It is commonly called the airvan. However the airvan and the NM-5 do share the same engine.

Mahindra now owns Gippsland ... They are now developing a 10-seater plane based on this plane, by using a turboprop engine instead of the present six-cylinder inline engine. It will be called a GA-10. Actually, we should see the prototype of the plane take to the skies anytime this November.

They are actually even building a 18-seater which would be certified by 2014. which would mean that one should be seeing a prototype pretty soon (first half of 2012).

What can be the reason behind the yellow paint/tape?

most likely emerged from an overhaul at HAL recently..who knows, it may be slated to be a chase aircraft for NP1

Seems to me that its just a section of the airplane with just the yellow primer coat on.. Must have been replaced newly..

Great Quality Photo Vishal! Did you get any close-ups of Shahid?

Is it just me or does that F16 look like an overloaded monstrosity ?
I miss the curves of the older Block 16s

Obviously Shreemati. Which self-respecting jingo gives a **** about Shahid when there is a flying machine in the image.

I don't see anything different in the nose.. The cone has always been black on the Mirages. The rest of the body is painted in the standard Light blue hues that, again, has been the standard paint scheme for the mirages.

Bah! Don't break a sweat. The plane just needed an overhaul after Shahid Kapoor flew it! He clearly stressed the airframe after flying it with a flaming engine from Kargil.

interesting way these anti-riot policemen are standing, each facing opposite directions alternately. BTW, I think I have seen this gear in Security Expo. Looked pretty solid

There is evidence of desert camouflage that has been painted over in some parts

Could that yellow strip be some sort of an extension between the body and the nosecone. Something which increases the internal space..

Indranil · Post by **Indranil** » 29 Sep 2011 23:08

I think we are ready way too much into the Mirage ... It came for an overhaul ... and there were some sheet metal which needed to be replaced.

Either that or the Mirage upgrades are already underway ... which I strongly doubt!

Lt Gen Bikram Singh, Army Commander, Eastern Command made a courtesy visit to the Governor of Arunachal Pradesh, Gen (Retd) JJ Singh at Raj Bhavan, Itanagar. He also called on Mr J Gamlin, the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh.
During the courtesy call, a number of ongoing civil-military projects were discussed. Army action plan to help the villagers in the remote areas of Arunachal Pradesh through the newly sanctioned operation Samaritan was also intimated to the Government of Arunachal Pradesh by the Army Commander. During the visit, the Army Commander was accompanied by Lt Gen Shakti Gurung, GOC Gajraj Corps.

South African engineers, evacuated from the Tessta Urja Plant in Saphu village in North Sikkim, are seen with their belongings as an Indian Army helicopter flies past at the Gangtok helipad on September 22, 2011, after a 6.9-magnitude earthquake hit the region September 18. Military helicopters reached remote villages in northeast India cut off for four days by a strong earthquake which killed at least 110 people across four countries.

In this picture, I see that the new P8-I has a "Window" that is close to a size of a door.
Can some one ID why an ASW would have such a big window?

I don't believe the window is much bigger than the windows on newer 737 models. The P8-I would need windows for observers to look out of. Visual surface sweeps are still a useful searching method.
