Australian Chief of Air Force Air Marshal Geoffrey Brown tried his hands on India’s frontline fighter plane on Friday. Brown is on a two-day visit to Jodhpur air force station. Jodhpur air base had deployed one squadron of Sukhoi last year and will be soon getting another squadron.

According to sources, Brown expressed his wish to fly Su-30 on Friday noon. “He flew it over the base as a small sortie and landed at the base expressing his delight at the experience,” told a source.

Brown had landed at Jodhpur air base with a six-member delegation on Thursday evening, with a view to discuss the issues of common interest with the air commodore of Jodhpur air force station R N Gaekwad and visit the air force station of Jodhpur.

Besides this, Brown and his wife Amanda also watched the ongoing Horse Polo tournament at Polo Grounds and visited the Mehrangarh Fort and Umaid Bhawan Palace with the delegation.

Brown will fly for New Delhi on Saturday morning.

The article is making out this flight was taken on a whim when in reality it would have been planned months in advance.

+ I hope IAF ACM Browne (lol!) goes to Australia, flies the F-18 SH and tells them " I've flown both the Rafale and Super Hornet now, the Rafale is miles better!!"

All it would ever be is wishy washy diplomatic speak. They will never say how they really feel in public, unless they are a stupid USAF Colonel that is!
