OLD INDIAN NAVY AIRCRAFT....

Video Title :	OLD INDIAN NAVY AIRCRAFT....
Description :	OLD INDIAN NAVY AIRCRAFT.... INDIAN ARMY WAS ALREADY BUYING AIRCRAFT AND GETTING AIRBORNE WHILE THE PAKIS WERE SAVIN UP TO BUY SHIPS..... The Naval Air Arm formally took birth with the commissioning of INS Garuda, a naval air station based at Kochi on 11 May 1953. A little earlier, on 04 February 1953, the first Indian Naval Aircraft - the Short Sealand [IN101] - landed at Kochi. IN101 joined the Fleet Requirement Unit, which later became the first Indian Naval Air Squadron - INAS 550 - on 17 June 1959. The aircraft carrier Vikrant arrived in 1961, with her squadrons of British Sea Hawk jets, French Alizé ASW aircraft and French Alouette III helicopters. The Vikrant would over time prove her worth in the Goa Liberation of 1961 and in the Indo-Pak War of 1971. The Navy has since set up a number of air stations along India's maritime borders and various aircraft, covering all dimensions of naval warfare, have been inducted. With the commissioning of a second aircraft carrier, INS Viraat, the Indian Navy adding more punch to her air power. This air power at sea is backed by state-of-the-art maintenance & logistics facilities in naval aircraft yards at Kochi and Goa, and with smaller facilities at the various naval air stations. The Naval Air Arm completed 50 glorious years in the service of the nation on 11 May 2003. Over the years, this arm of the Indian Navy has grown into a multi faceted force, fully equipped to meet the challenges of protecting our maritime boundaries and the assets of the nation at sea. Shano Varuna!

GREAT Pix thanks for posting...very historic!

As a Portuguese, a country in contact with India since 500 years ago, I was pleased to see the video. Hope India gets more and better since they have the capacity to do that. Also hope that India connects more with the portuguese speaking nations like China is doing via Macau, where even the portuguese language is official. As India has got Goa, it might one day reinstate it as one of the official languages there :) My best wishes to India!

It's a shame you spoiled a nice glimpse of these fine old aircraft with your racist comments. It's that attitude that brought about the division of the sub-continent that both India and Pakistan will soon commemorate 60 years ago. Sadly the animosity between the two nations continues, and it seems only the possession of a nuclear arsenal on both side is preventing war.

with this big navy and expenditure and most of the country lives below poverty level. you compare yourself with pakistan 10 times smaller then you. Chinese beat you in everything . shame on you. indians.

U ideot, I think u r sure from pakistan... ur mentality is exactly small as the size of ur country... better dont talk anything about ten times, i can show minimum ten things which will surely say, who is ten times smaller... but then keep guts to accept, pakis r 10 times smaller, but not pakistan as it a part of my country INDIA!!!!!!!

But every country is better than America. I thought everyone knew that.

nice....indian navy rocks....

Pakistan lost 1965 war, 1948 war, 1971 war, 1984 war and 1999 war. 65: pakistani operations gibralter and grand slam were both faliures and they had to lose lahore and ayub khan was dragged to russia 48, 71 and 84- clear losses for pakis 99: at a casualties of 527 soldiers, pakistani coward terrorists were pushed back to their own piece of shit and more than 4000 of them died

Other comments on this vid are missing the point.This is a nicely shot vid using panning of stills to celebrate the service of venerable aircaft.Well done vishv!

How very sad to see so much racial abuse on this site, why are you young people so angory and bad mannered, grow up, should have been disciplined when you were younger.
