Aero Show 2013...

Aero show 2011 was the one i was suppose to watch... Due to some reasons i couldnt make it with Jayashree and Anala... Had missed it.... So the day Aero show 2013 was announced, buckled up.... Dreaming and thinking on how could that be.. I did see some pictures and had read few things(Preparing you see ;))... The day came in and it was time for all of us to go... Buying ticket was one eventful day too... We waited for a looong time in Axis Banka and finally did get a our turn... :D Yipppie got the TICKETS... :D  Got our tickets a week ago and we were all set for the show...... 

That day morning Me, Anala, Jaychee and Gopal, we all were set to GOOOO.... One thing we knew was we need to be there early... Since the show was about to start at 10 AM... and since these girls had been the previous year, they knew what kindaa of traffic would be there on the road... 

Me and Anala were picked by Jaychee and Gopal... With all the accessesories( Glasses, caps,umbrellas,water.... List went on and on) we all were thrilled to go...First thing is we took a little long route( bcoz the road was closed infront of BEL) .. Managed to hit the main road.. Whole while Jaychee was trying to convince Anala that she took her through the short cut previous time though Anala never remembered... :D After reaching Yelahanka started the true spot the place to park and watch.....  We had tickets to gate 8 & 9 and parking was in ADVA... Trust me there was soo much of jam and policemen leading us wrong ways, we ended up going a loooot more longer than we had to... We overshoot the place.. By then on our way itself, we had started seeing the show.. :D Did see few of the flights from there too....Then we had to come back all the way and follow the same jammmeddddd road.. JAM PACK was an understatement to that road... We managed and finally we got to the place by 11.30... By then it was almost half way through,... Did manage to see couple of the planes in the show.. But we had already targetted the 2-4 slot as the one we would be watch.... :D Had our lunch, loafed around, spoke soo much about the air force and the dedication to be in some place like that... 

Post lunch with our camera set... we were ready to capture.... First plane in the show was an F16.... Indian war plane... I had goosebumps when it started the aerobatics.... Vhoooom.... it made a huge noise,....... LOVED IT.. stunts were soooo nice to watch...... tried to click few clicks... :) I did manage to capture few nice ones...

Then was the turn of the helicopters... We had soo many lined up.. First of them was AH-64 Apache....1997  model of this one which got us a gold medal at republic day camp.... Did see a lot of stunts of that... 

Then was the time to show the rescue mission of the Indian air wing... Did see two helicopters and 6 men clicking on the ropes and portrayed the rescue mission... :):) Were wondering the whole while with that altitude and so much of wind blowing on us, how difficult could it be to manage to cling on the rope... 

Then came in the Sukhoi Su-30MKI...... WOOOOOOOOW plane..  i had goosebumps when i heard it... TREAT TO EYE... Really enjoyed it sooo much.. the stunts were soo nice.... Hard to capture since it moved real quick into the clouds...  but in the whole of the show i enjoyed this part the most..... I didn't want the stunts to end ever.....

Next turn was from Saarang.... The Sarang team flew four HAL Dhruvs.... Peacocks have been painted on them... They did a good aerobactic show too.. we were wanting more of them.. :D

Next was the most awaited one the Flying Bulls is one of the most accomplished European aerobatics teams and has been a member of the Red Bull family. It comprises of four pilots (three men and one woman) and they presented formation aerobatics.. The 64 year old woman lead the team... That was another lovely show.. all the four planes did a lot of aerobatic skills... Breath taking stunts... really enjoyed the whole of the show... 

Last but not the least was Boeings F/A-18 Super Hornet.. American war plane which helps in sending the cargo... It was one HUGEE plane.... Did couple of stunts too.. Most interesting thing was, i could capture it more easily.. :)

Most disappointing thing was most awaited Russian Nights didn't perform neither did Surya Kiran...

One of the most interesting part was to see the way people were taking shelter..... There were colourful umbrellas, different kinds of hats... And ofcourse people took help of carton box,helmets ,paper caps, kerchiefs and what not... :) Did capture them all.. :):) 

For people who had seen air shows it was quiet disappointing.. But since its the first time i ever watched.. It was one memorable one... I will want to come back for more... :) waiting for Aero India show 2015.. :)
