Pre-flights check of Mig-29s

Jalandhar, Oct 3 (UNI) The Adampur-based Indian Airforce (IAF) MiG-29 squadrons are observing all necessary pre-flight checkings of the aircraft but routine sorties of these IAF frontline fighter planes are continuing.

An official spokesman told UNI today that both the squadrons, based at the Adampur air base, were flying their aircraft on routine sorties.

He said this drill was not in the wake of any particular accident rather this was part of practice.

He said reports of suspension of flight operations at this base were not correct.
