IAF’s workhorses, the Mi-8 helicopters, opened the flypast followed by three ALH, and a composite formation of three generations of IAF aircraft — an ALH, two Kiran Mk-IIs, Mirages and Sukhois. Eyes were glued to the sky as the LCA TD-2 flew.
Re: Aero India 2003 - News & Reports
Could we have links to the photos/videos if posting them directly here is not possible?

Re: Aero India 2003 - News & Reports
Shiv, beautiful pix. I can't wait to see the pictures you have taken for us to use in the IAF galleries. Why are these pics so grainy?
Re: Aero India 2003 - News & Reports
Shiv - Great pictures! Can't wait to see more.
You need to adjust the image quality setting on your digital camera. Set it to "fine" or the highest setting.
