Nz Flyboy;
"The Indian air force pilots are highly trained. The RAAF has regular exchange programs for officers with the IAF and vice versa."
I think your info is a little out of date and massively incorrect. Not sure where you get this idea from. The Indians have lost 60 mil aircraft in 3 years with a number of fatalities (yes, not necessarily due to pilot error but cannot be ruled out for some of them).
And exchanges with the IAF?? Ummmmm, no.
