Todd Nelson, the 36-year-old pilot of F/A-18E Super Hornet on Friday commended Tata group chairman Ratan Tata for doing a great job at the controls of F18 - how about returning lands bank to the poor? Can Boeing help?
Boeing obviously wants their money and close their chapter. It is a text book case of bad PR by Boeing and the worst marketing technique for them.
According to media reports, "Tata did a great job when he was in control of the aircraft. He enjoyed flying it and was impressed of its cockpit. The fighter was very responsive and smooth during the hour-long sortie," Nelson told reporters after landing at the Yelahanka base of the Indian Air Force (IAF), venue of the international air-show (Aero India 2007.
With 69-year-old Tata in the rear of the tandem-seater twin-engine aircraft, the Super Hornet crossed the sound barrier cruising at Mach-1 speed for a while and flew above 10,000 feet, covering a distance of 50-60 nautical miles in the south-north direction of Bangalore.
"During the flight, we were in touch and talked about the aircraft. Tata was appreciative of the canopy and the great view he had from the cockpit. He was at controls for about 30 minutes," Nelson said.
Before the take-off, Tata had gone through a pre-flight briefing and medical check-up. He was made to familiarize with the fifth generation aircraft in the Boeing simulator on Thursday, located at the air base.
