I just wanted to know whats really happening with the LCA project? has it entered production or still in its testing phase?

Will post them soon. _________________ Deb Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dbanik/sets/72157594569165935/ Videos: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=dbanik Last edited by dbanik on Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:58 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:12 pm    Post subject: Looking fwd to those Pics. regds MEL _________________ Think of the Brighter side !!!

But you can get the actual size (10MP) and zoom in! _________________ Deb Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dbanik/sets/72157594569165935/ Videos: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=dbanik Back to top HAWK21M Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 8132 Location: Mumbai, INDIA Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2008 12:11 am    Post subject: Far off.But good pics.

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.
