This is strange!

There is a strange F-16 photo. This is a UAE air force F-16F (block 60), flown by a USAF pilot at an Indian air base with an indian film actor (Shahid Kapoor) in the back seat.

1. where is shahid ? I can't see him
2. how do u know USAF pilot is flying it ?
3. How do u know its from a movie ?

The Picture is from Airliners.net, a highly reputed website, with occasional behind the scenes photos taken by professionals.

You cant see him because he is wearing a helmet and a visor!!, he is on the backseat.

As for the other two questions, see my first line of this post.

Now please any one dont say, the suryakirans are training with that F-16

 

[tvsram1992]

[Kompromat]

this was a publicity stunt by Lockheed Martain to give 'joy rides' to Shahid Kapoor to get support for their bid for MMRCA which didn't work out.

What's odd about this? This is a UAE F-16 being flown by a LM test pilot because the UAE BLK60s are/were the closest, in terms of specs, as the F-16IN offers for MMRCA. And this is being flown at Yalanka AFB during Aero India 2011 with Shahid in th whack for PR- Boeong did the same for Ratan TATA aswell as the other MMRCA contenders.

MArketing the F-16IN for the MMRCA.
