The B-52 is the eight-engine strategic bomber which was to be replaced by the four-engine B-1 but both continue in service. The former is a Boeing product and the latter started as a Rockwell product which is now part of Boeing. The B-2 is the four-engine stealth bomber made by Northrop Grumman.

I have had the pleasure of sitting in the copilot seat of a microlight aircraft in Bengaluru.

have felt the adrenaline rush of putting the plane in a dive.

I have researched, if you want to fly a sukhoi 30 MKI, you can do it in Russia, with migs too available to fly.

its on the bucket list.

f-14s too you can fly for a price, i mean in the navigator seat of a twin seated aircraft.

and people say , money can't buy happiness :)

OH really!

Lucky you brother

Yes j read it some where that you can fly these babies in Russia fir a price but You cant fly an mki in Russia for a price

Mki is made for India only and it is assembled here in India by HAL

There is an airfield in Jakkur, near Bangalore international airport.

They have helicopters too there apart from personally owned microlight aircrafts. They are kept in the hangars, maintained and the owners fly them as and when they wish.


My pilot's name was Rakesh Sharma, felt I was going in space haha.


I still remember, when I slipped on the headfones given to me by the pilot, all the engine sound blacked out, all I could hear was the conversation that the pilot and I were having.

I couldn't help but notice and ask, you really follow all these planes and all out of interest or posted just for the sake of the post. Its rare to see people who do follow planes and stuff.


The B2; OK, a different plane altogether, from Northrop.
Said like a super moderator, just the first name :mrgreen:
