Hello everyone,

Right now I am watching an amazing flying display of this LCA from my office that is located just 3 kms from the airport, he is doing loops, belly-up and all kinds of maneuvers, what an amazing little fighter. I just wanted to know whats really happening with the LCA project? has it entered production or still in its testing phase?

Regards,

I caught that too from my terrace! Got some pics too, though not very clear due to the distance. Will post them soon.

MEL,

I'll try to upload them this evening. Don't get your hopes too high though...they're not so good.

Didn't bother to do any post-processing; they're not even cropped. But you can get the actual size (10MP) and zoom in!

Nice Pics Deb. LCA is currently in Armament mounting and testing phase. Right now plan is to induct them around 2010. They will be based in Southern Air Command's Sulur Airbase.

Cheers
Shivendra

Currently only 3 Technology Demonstrators have been build. Serial production has not started as yet. IAF has ordered 20 aircrafts initially. Naval Version is also under development.

Cheers
