NEW DELHI: Miffed with the attitude of Sachin Tendulkar and Mahendra Singh Dhoni , the IAF has junked its plans to fly the cricketing superstars in its most potent supersonic Sukhoi-30MKI fighters. The cricketers have shown no interest in taking up the offer to fly in the twin-seat Sukhois, which was approved by the defence ministry, for well over one year now. Neither has Tendulkar attended any IAF function after donning the air warrior's blue uniform with epaulettes and all while being conferred with the honorary rank of a Group Captain in September 2010, leave alone something like the force's 80th anniversary on Monday. Asked if the government had decided against granting honorary commission to celebrities - Dhoni is a Lt-Colonel in the Army - after its experience with the two cricketers, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne said, "No such decision has been taken." "Sachin Tendulkar is already an honorary Group Captain. That is how it is. We have not taken any decision for the future, this is how it is today. They are not going to fly in any aircraft at this point in time as the IAF is very busy," said Browne after taking the salute on the IAF parade at the Hindon airbase on the outskirts of New Delhi. ACM Browne's predecessor P V Naik was the one who had offered the two cricketers a sortie on the Sukhois from the Pune airbase. Tendulkar had expressed interest in the Sukhoi sortie, holding that as a teenager he had been fascinated by the Tom Cruise-starrer 'Top Gun'. But to no avail. In sharp contrast, the IAF is happy with the way ace shuttler and London Olympics bronze medallist Saina Nehwal flew in its Kiran Mark-II trainer aircraft at the IAF Academy in Dundigal in Andhra Pradesh and "motivated" the young cadets there last month.
