AERO INDIA SHOW
If you are someone who hate dust, heat and
crowd and not someone who can enjoy something good in between these, then this
is not something you should visit.
Yes. I started the blog on the
event with a negative opinion since I have heard more negatives about the event
than positive.
But if you ask me, the show is
not something to be missed if you have not witnessed till now. After all it’s
the second largest air show of the world and it cannot be that bad… J And I have visited
after watching overnight drama “Malegalali Madhumagalu” the previous night and
I enjoyed in spite of having no sleep the previous night. :)
But whatever it is, you will have to wait till 2017 even if you feel like witnessing it..!

AERO INDIA show is an air show
that happens once in 2 years and organized by the Ministry of Defense in
Yelahanka Air Force Station. It’s something unique. When it’s unique and good,
what else do you need to go and give a try. But it’s organized once in 2 years
and goes for 5 days including a weekend. Weekends, special attractions are
added is what I heard.
It is one opportunity to watch
war flights taking off and landing from very close. I am very weak in
identifying war planes and Helicopters. If someone loves it and knows to
identify it, then they would appreciate it better.
The stunts and formations the
pilots do with the planes is fantastic and makes it worth a visit. But, be
informed that you will get bored looking at same stunts repeated multiple
times. But, let us understand the effort they put. It’s really hard for them
too to show a stunt in a minute and land the plane again. If that’s the case,
the show would get over in less than an hour.
Unfortunately both the organizers
and the people have taken least care in keeping the area clean. Organizers have
not placed enough dustbins and have made people litter all around. I bet you - you
cannot walk in the area without stepping over a water bottle or some paper
plate..!!! This is something I always hate whenever I visit any place and
thought it would be an exception here since it’s a little sophisticated event.
But actually is not..!!!
Note –
The show tickets require an
online registration to be done and the pass cost was Rs 600 for AERO SHOW 2015.
After registration, you need to collect tickets from the centers assigned or
directly in the venue.
Take all that is required to
cover yourselves from Dust and Sunlight. Without goggles its really hard to
enjoy the show.
The eatables and water is
available inside, but the cost is exactly twice of what is available outside. I
bought a Kulfi for Rs 70 and 750ml Water bottle for Rs 40..! :P
There are 2 sessions – One in the
morning and one in the afternoon. It’s the same show being repeated even though
the pass is for an entire day. Hence unless you love the show like anything,
visiting one of the sessions is more than enough. But make sure you plan your
travel since it will be very crowded and you might spend a lot of time in the
entry queue or in the entry for parking area.
How to reach?
Yelahanka Air Force station lies
off New Airport road hence not much of confusion in reaching the place. Go to
Yelahanka and from there the venue of Air show is around 3 Kms further in Nitte
Meenakshi College road.
