Bangalore airshow

I wonder why my regional news papers are finding it difficult to report anything technical accurately. More often the reporters are getting excited too much and carried away.
Here is a report on Bangalore airshow 2007 by Mathrubhoomi. It says F-16 has never gone outside the US. In fact it is the most widely used fighter plane through out the world (24 airforces apart from the USAF).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-16

He goes on saying Boeing has brought two F16s (Wikipedia says its been manufactured by General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin)

other great findings of this report follows

Gripen is an american company and it has come with its spear head F19

(Fact: The Saab JAS 39 "Gripen" (Griffin or "Gryphon") is a fighter aircraft manufactured by the Swedish aerospace company Saab)

Chinook is having 2 propellers

(Read it as 2 rotors)

Chinook can lift 5 Gypsies

(He means 5 cars)

There'r two main shows one is by Indian airforce's "nedum thoonukal" and other one is by planes like Sukhoy Jaguar and Mig.

(Dont get confused these planes are IAF's mainstay)

LCA is Light Compact Aircraft or Light Combat Aircraft?

Suyra Kiranukal or Surya Kiranangal?
