I said it's from my memory so the words won't be the same. But it's in there. Pickthall's, I think it was.
O/T but the O.G English translations of the Quran. I was given one when I passed my 9th exam.

Back on topic, so the aviation community are stating that the fellow may have suffered G-LOC, but this is all speculation on everyone's part.
 
Ironic that a US engined Indian jet went down on the same week as Russia offered lucrative deal for Su57.

Tradition dictates that this incident be brushed off as pilot error and principles of business as usual employed.
 
SMH 🙄
The production line for GE-404 IN20 was shut down in 2016 and the South Korean supplier for parts unique to the GE-404 IN20 was in financial difficulty. These issues are now resolved and GE plans to deliver all engines before the end of financial year 2026.

Sorry I lied, the truth is the US is very afraid of Tejas.
I think they are afraid of Tejas cos of the bad reputation it will build...

🧐If you look inside the cockpit it seems like he was raising left arm.

Usually, the Left Hand is on the Throttle.

Some Jets like the F/A-18 & F-15 have handles for the Pilots to hold on to.

I can't say for certain if his hand is moving slowly/freely indicating that he might have lost consciousness.

However, the aircraft did turn later which would indicate that he did have some control - but not enough altitude to recover.
 
This is FANTASTIC overview of the Tejas demo routine itself, and analysis of the various points of where/how things may have gone wrong and why. A very clinical and analytical breakdown review by someone who knows what they are talking about.

Recommend you all to watch it if you have a spare 20minutes :
