HYDERABAD: A trainer aircraft with the Indian Navy's aerobatics team, Sagar Pawan, crashed into a two-storied building during an air show here on Wednesday the hyderabad aviation show Two naval pilots, Commander S.K. Maurya and Lt Commander Rahul Nair were killed when the HJT-16 Kiran Mk2 trainer crashed, police commissioner A K Khan said. The aircraft, an HJT-16 Kiran Mk2 trainer built by Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, crashed a couple of minutes before noon in the Bowenpally locality near the old Begumpet Airport in the heart of the city. The police and the fire brigade had difficulty reaching the congested crash site. Four people in the building, a part of which was badly damaged, were injured, as the plane fell on the side of the complex. Two of the injured are believed to be in serious condition and have been shifted to hospital. The debris from the crash fell on a car, crushing it. The building has developed cracks and residents are being evacuated. The planes were showing acrobatic manoeveures when the incident took place. One of the aircraft, part of the navy's aerobatics team that uses four trainers, was unable to pull up from a dive and went into a spiral as the planes were breaking away from the formation and going in different directions. The acrobatics by the planes had begun even as Praful Patel, minister for civil aviation, was talking on the rostrum. Thousands of people were enjoying the spectacle when disaster struck, sending thick clouds of smoke into the air. According to witnesses, the plane crashed into the mobile phone towers on top of the building. They heard a loud boom, after which the plane went down. Said Ashok, who was in his house at the time: "I was inside the house when I heard a loud noise and I came out to see flames." ‎ An hour after the crash, Praful Patel addressing a pre-scheduled press conference had no details about the crash. "I hope for the best,” he said. "I can’t give you any information. I have none,” he added. Hyderabad’s Begumpet airport is used for VIP and private flights. The area where the crash occurred falls under the jurisdiction of the Secunderabad Cantonment Board. The crash, however, took place in a civil area under the board.

Didn't decal bleed in a model involve something about "export with/without decals" option in 3Dsmax?

very nice pappy .

Just keep an eye on the serial numbers MiG-29K - 801, 802, 804 MiG-29KUB - 971, 974 should be fairly easy to build a "K" from your "KUB".

Sakai, Try looking for them at Amazon. They should be available there. I ordered all of these books from Indian websites( as per the website owner, some of them had to be ordered from UK and it took quite some time for delivery). Lexx, I am happy with these books . Besides, I have some PDFs as well Meanwhile, I ordered these and they will be added to my little library soon
