the Aero India 09….

I was there! All excited. We guys decide to get there early. My early was 8.30ish, his was 7!!! So breakfast on location! But the best….he packs the most interesting food! Cakes, wafers, chocolates, biscuits (I got those animal shaped) and knife and spoons too!!

Sukhois and MiGs. MiGs and Sukhois. No, that was not all. Tall dark and handsome men in their aviators!! Crew cuts, jump suits and the attitude!! Over dose!

I guess Kingfisher beer being served in the food court was the biggest attraction at aero 2009 and people queued at subway not knowing they have setup shops permanently in India! There was a horrible rush!

The show itself was a treat! We got seats. Front row! The guard stopped us at the entrance; our tickets did not allow us to enter the arena with chairs. 2 guys argued until the guard gave up! We followed. My floral umbrella was pretty. The sun not very bright. We sat through the piercing sounds of jets playing ‘find me’ games.

Outside, people climbed every hill, every building and every hoarding to catch a glimpse. The cops did their best, ten at least at every intersection. I wish they start to wear aviators too :)
