Aero India 2015: Sukhois are the best, say display pilots

Bengaluru: The ground crew was readying a mighty Sukhoi (Su-30 MKI) at the northern side of the runway at AFS Yelahanka when OneIndia was invited for an interaction with the display team.

"We have an early slot during post-lunch display," said Flight Lieutenant Navjot Singh. Along with him are Wing Commander A N Karulkar (Commanding Officer), Wing Commander C U V Rao and Flight Lieutenant Prashant Sharma.

The Sukhois have been topping the showstoppers' list during every air shows and this time to it was no different.

The loop, tumble, yaw, tail slide, minimum radius turns, rolls, high and low speed runs are some of the sky stunts being executed by the Sukhoi flying display team.

"My favourite combination is the one which has the loop, tumble and yaw together. You have to make quick turns on the aircraft," says Navjot. However, for Prashant the yaw is the favorite number.

"The Sukhoi is the only fighter in the world which is capable of doing the yaw," he added.
