Bangalore, Feb 13 (ANI): Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra boarded an F-16IN fighter jet, at an air show in Bangalore, on the invitation of U.S. aircraft makers Lockheed Martin.
"Most exhilarating thing I have done post-Olympics game. It is absolutely a wonderful experience. The Super Viper is a great machine, I really enjoyed my trip," Bindra said on Thursday.

Bindra underwent the mandatory medical fitness test before takeoff and also got a ground briefing before going on the sortie in the aircraft.
