It was an early February 15th morning, we all started for the Aero AirIndia Show. It took 2 hours to reach Yelahanka. I was on my friend's bike. We were searching for a parking place when one fighter plane flew over my head.'Zoooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmm......' what a sound! What a plane!what a sight!what a cheer from the people around. I guessed it was a F-16.The plane flew high making a mark in the sky. My excitement knew no bounds. I was completely lost. Finally my friend had to park the bike. It was overcrowded at the main entrance.We struggled to enter through the gate. The MIGS, F16s ,Sukhois caught the excitement of the people. The Sarang Helicopters made all stunts in the sky. The amazing stunt was when the two pairs of helicopters crossed each other.The sukhois flew 90 degree high up in the sky and suddenly came to a halt ,then a free fall and finally flew exponentially.We all shouted at such an amazing sight I tried all my best to capture the moments in my camera. I bet it is very difficult to take snapshots of fighter planes when they fly in the sky. I succeeded and also failed. It was 50:50. Then came the paratroopers with colourful parashutes.What a colourful sight it was! Red , light green , yellow in the blue sky.
The air show was to resume again at 2:30 PM. The afternoon was really very hot.We went on drinking cans of coca cola .'Piyo Sar Uthake'. The airshow began with a US war plane flying high up in the sky. The most amazing was the hawks ejecting gases in saffron,white and green in the sky. The national tricolour drawn by the hawks in the sky in different angles caught the excitement of the people. There was a loud cheer in the ground.I took all the pics.After this we went to exhibition. There were models of Russian,Israel and Swedish fighter planes. The description of the capabilities of the fighter aircrafts was really knowledgeable. The fighter pilots looked like Hollywood heroes.I wondered that I might have seen them in some hollywood movies. The pilots's lives are always at risk as they take the onus to protect their nation but they live a very exciting life.They die once but live forever.
The show ended at 5:00 PM. We reached home at 9:30 PM fully exhausted.It was really a great and knowledgeable experience.I would recommend every reader of this blog to visit the Airshow atleast once in a lifetime. I bet you all will enjoy the thrill. You all will realise, as I have, that there is more interesting thing to do in life.
