In this, ‘Air Force Special’ issue, we not only take a look The IAF has come a long way since its inception in 1932 at the IAF’s ongoing endeavours in its flight to achieve the when it began with half a dozen officers and a few Wapiti desired capabilities, but also on the burgeoning responsi- aircraft. Today, the men and women ‘in blue’ of the world’s bilities of the private sector in the aerospace field in building fourth largest air force can proudly look on those years, hav- them for the IAF.

For this, it is of paramount importance to Jai Hind! augment the IAF’s entire range of capabilities—from preci- sion attack weapons to combat and transport aircraft to UAVs and heliborne operations, besides ushering in an era of vigor- ous research and development with active private sector par- ticipation. No wonder the acquisition of force multipliers like airborne warning and control systems (AWACS), mid-air refu- elling aircraft, advanced radars and aerostats—all crucial to force potency—have been on the IAF’s extended shopping list. Speaking on the status of his force to the media in June this year, Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne had said that key year for the IAF would be 2022. “All the contracts which were signed during the Eleventh Five Year Plan, will be executed till 2017. At least 65 to 70 per cent of force build-up will be accomplished by 2017.” A key aspect of the IAF’s force build-up programme is to not only regain its erstwhile combat jet fighters’ strength of 39½ squad- rons but also to augment it further to 42 squadrons by 2022 (end of Thirteenth Plan). In all, the IAF could spend as much as $100 billion in the next decade towards realis- ing it’s sanctioned ‘perspective plans’. Air Chief Marshal N.A.K.

    LOS ANGELES | NEWPORT BEACH | WEST PALM BEACH | CHICAGO | EUROPE GULFSTREAM MARKET UPDATE Q4 • 2018 2018 continued its upward trend and ended the year with both new and used deliveries and orders up Quarter 4 over 2017. However, the big-bang Q4, that so many projected, seemed to be over by mid-November aided by an increasingly caustic political environment, slowing GDP (worldwide), wild stock market 2018 gyrations and finally the threat of a Government shut down that materialized by the end of the Qtr. It wasn’t a bad quarter, it just wasn’t a great quarter as buyer caution outweighed the tax benefit fueled Gulfstream G200 2 activity, which we began seeing in Q2 & Q3. The caution was also evident in aircraft activity which on a Gulfstream G280 3 whole was down 0.5% Year over Year according to flight tracking data from Argus International. Gulfstream GIV-SP 4 The future remains exciting nonetheless. We saw new certifications in 2018 of the G500 and Global Gulfstream G450 5 7500. 2019 will celebrate more exciting aircraft with the G600, Global 5500/6500 and Embraer Praetor 400/500 all due for certification. We expect 2019 to be a tougher growth year as new models will be in Gulfstream GV 6 low ramp up production rates and the inventory of later model pre-owned aircraft remain low. Gulfstream G550 7 How does this affect the Gulfstream pre-owned market? Q4-18 saw a nice jump in activity for both Gulfstream G650 8 pre-owned and new sales, with an 18% and 63% rise respectively.
