I can only say

Yeah, I get that all the time.
Firstly get it thru your grey matter, USN does not do joy rides for 10 junior Pilots of a foreign Navy, that is the job of aircraft manufacturers who also give free rides to journalists etc.
I thought they were BAF pilots. From where you got foriegn Navy crap now???
Besides, if you haven't noticed, none of them are airborne. Even the cokpit canopy is not closed.
It might not be a joyride, just might be a photo session who knows?
After all the rheotic people still fail to prove
1) BAF pilots are on training of F-18.
2) F-18 is offered to BAF.
Now I will open a thread with me posing with AK-47's. The snaps that I have already posted on the same forum.
Shall I title the thread as
a) GB an Indian Armed Forces personal.
b) GB a covert operative
c) GB a militiant
d) None of the above
The right answer will be none of the above. GB just pose with AK-47's. GB just shot 20 rounds from his AK courtesy his friend who is ranked as Major.
Thats it.
Same goes with the thread. We have some BAF pilots posing in front of F-18's. Some of them sitting in cockpit.
This does not mean anything unless proven otherwise.
Here are some pics of USAF pilots sitting or standing in front of IAF Su-30MKI.
Now what does this means?
USAF pilots getting training on IAF Su-30MKI's or USAF is considering buying this aircraft and since they are evaluating it?

P.S: - Better come up with sources / links backing your claims or keep quite. One of the photos posted is actually of Malaysian Air Force pilots as proven earlier. This shows how desperate some people are to relate things.
