Tata to fly F-16 at Aero India tomorrow

Bangalore, Feb 7 (UNI) Industrialist Ratan Tata will fly in the sophisticated US-made F-16 fighter aircraft at the Aero India 2007 international exposition at Yelahanka here tomorrow.

When Mr Tata arrived at the venue of the inauguration of the five-day event, media representatives swarmed him and it was questions galore. A perplexed Tata remarked that flying was his passion and was looking for it to happen.

It would be the first time that Mr Tata would be flying a fighter. He had secured flying licence when he was 17-year-old.

Mr Tata said he felt great to fly at the event and felt honoured for being allowed to fly.
