You all saw that didn't you. Cut from news - straight on Tejas - Lined up for a beautiful performance. A good display planned and executed to perfection showing off the strong points of Tejas in a very short time. Lovely. And the sight of happy Indians in Bahrain

JTull · Post by **JTull** » 21 Jan 2016 17:34

It was LSP-04

Great show by Tejas. Thanks to Bahrain TV for covering it until the very end including the group photo!

Thanks for the link, enjoyed the Tejas performance!

Could see the happiness and pride in Team Tejas faces! Good job!

That was glorious. In addition to all the crew a big thumbs up to GoI for participating.

There was some debate among the commentators about whether LSP-04 was flying with a 404 or IN20 version. apparently, the brochure said IN20 but I think LSP04 flies with the stock 404.

Meanwhile caught this news on SJha twitter timeline - Shri Manohar Parrikar has announced that full scale production of Tejas will happen from next year.

^deejay... I have put the article up above..

Kicking myself. Was paying bills online while the display was going on. 350 meters turn is terrific.

Sorry, I missed your post. If Shri Parrikar says so, then it must be true. Few countries come to mind straight away - Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, etc. These are the regular guesses.

sidsom, what line? yeshtu bharuthe?

hoping a video will come out.

Zynda · Post by **Zynda** » 21 Jan 2016 18:40

I hope the Bahrain channel continues their live feed of Air Show tomorrow as well. Would love to catch displays of F-16, M2K and F22. I am sure Tejas did sharp turns but some of it was not evident on the live feed. I think the cameraman had zoomed in so close on Tejas all the time that its manoeuvres got lost in perspective. A little zoomed out view would be great. But overall good camera work; extremely steady hands (or tripod mount). Thanks Bahrain for providing that free steam for rest of the world.

Hopefully ADA itself will put up a beautiful video in time.

SaiK... towards the end of the coverage Team Tejas were trying to line up for a group foto. During that time these 2 lines were uttered by one of the self appointed "Co-ordinator" .....

Was overjoyed listening to our very own Kannada on Bahrain tv.....

Was this a one-time thing or can we expect flight demos tomorrow and day after tomorrow as well?

Also, how was the quality of camera-work on the Bahraini channel? As good as the short clips of the Tejas' rehearsal from Tuesday?

Camera work in parts was like old DD cricket coverage and just like DD lost the ball, the camera lost the aircraft.

But I enjoyed the parts of the commentary in English, which was fluid and gave a description of what the maneuver was going to be including speeds, g forces, turn radius etc.

pls pls post the details from commentary.
