interesting to see amateur pilots flying the most advanced jet in the IAF...

You see...the most advanced jets are the easiest to fly and the old horses are difficult to fly..specially with machines like mig 21s in our arsenal.

Im not saying they are not qualified.... im just saying that they are getting "hands on the best" earlier than expected than in other forces

Just because it is not like this in the PAF doesn't mean what the IAF is doing is wrong- far from it. The operation MKI SQDs are 50/50 old/young which is the best of both worlds- there is no point in having 100% experienced as these long serving pilots will be out soon nor is their any point in having 100% inexperienced as they will have some deficences. In the PAF the number of F-16s (the best) is few whereas in the IAF the numbers of MKIs are much, much more. Additionally how do you define "the best"? In the next decade the IAF will be getting the MKI in ever larger numbers, the Rafale and the PAK-FA/FGFA not to mention the upgraded Mig-29 and M2k are not slouches and are comparable or superior to the PAF's F-16. You can't have all of these piloted by the oldies/experienced chaps otherwise how are the young guys meant to get experience?


As I've said the F-22 is flown by young and fresh/inexperienced pilots.

As @coldheartedaviatior said these days the very latest fighters coupled with superior training and simulators are easier to fly than their predecessors and hugely more lethal even in the hands of young guns.

Sir your logic is fundamentally flawed.

Its some kind of prefabricated fractionation column destined for some petrochemical plant. Moreover, it doesn't look like the picture was taken in India. I could be wrong though!

 

[Dandpatta]

If you look at the small cluster of grey roofed houses, it looks like somewhere in China... but certainly not in India.

Its for civilian use, for petrochemical plants. The KNM industries as seen on the logo is a Malaysian company so not sure if the pic is from Malaysia or if they shipped it to India.(You know where the pic is from?)

You have to keep experienced and new together else they will retire at same time. Hope you got the wind. Having a mix is good idea, you do not know everyone who is not shown in the picture right?

 

[acetophenol]

it does to some extent because every pilot flies about the same no of flying hours in a year...... and experience comes with time in flying

You are well answered in the above posts.

Egypt can take a great advantage by joining in French on their Mirage-2000 program and can produce about 300 aircraft 100 from each block and can reduce the nos of F-16s from the fleet to just 30-50.

M2k program is over. Thats why we opened the MMRCA tender, otherwise we would have gone for it from the beginning.
