Unfortunately you and lovers of NAK browne are on the same side,, NAK Browne would have been a fighter pilot, but that does not stop anyone from doubting his lies and deciits to please his political masters, and anyone who does that can he be termed PATRIOTIC? Having highest post in service does not discount him of being traitor and a scamster
Heh heh,

On many occasions, sitting in the cool confines of the briefing/crew rooms, we had discussed the pros and cons of attempting a
dead stick landing on a MiG-21. Invariably all such discussions ended with the advice that height/speed combination permitting, ejection would any day be a better option.
Let me remind you that the MiG-21 can do a lot of things beautifully -- some even unconventionally -- but what she cannot do is glide on a dead engine.
Silently gliding in air at approximately 110 metres AGL with the entire runway lined up ahead of me, I was faced with a sudden dilemma -- to eject or to continue ahead for landing.

['QUOTE]Indian Air Force Chief NAK Browne's son Squadron Leader Omar Browne is among six officers to be awarded Vayu Sena medal for Gallantry on Independence Day.
Thirty minutes after take-off, Omar experienced severe restriction in the forward movement of the
control stick in his cockpit which prevented the aircraft from achieving normal rate descent to lower altitudes.
Taking a calculated risk, he decided to attempt landing, regulated the fuel to make the aircraft light and executed a long and shallow approach.
Even after touchdown, he could not lower the aircraft nose wheel with stick force and had to resort to use of forward trim.
"Finally the pilot was able to execute safe landing from this grave situation," the IAF said.
"The pilot displayed immense courage, highest level of professionalism, superlative decision making backed by exceptional flying skills to recover the aircraft from an otherwise inevitable accident," Omar's citation read.['/QUOTE]
Some years later you can talk to IAF people about this bravery by the son.
Heh heh so not good to have been conferred on the papa. Papa got only an ambassdorship.
Oh and BTW, papa flew only Hunters, Jags, Mig-21 and Su-30MKIs.
There must be a problem with Hunters and Jags which cannot give any medal worthy opportunities.
