which aircraft (fighter plane) did he fly? -- Albert Peres ---------------------------------------------------------------
The Bombay Flying Club was home to Britain's famed but tiny Tiger Moths. A JAL pilot goofed and landed his DC9 on their Juhu mini-strip in 1963. Another five hundred yards would have drowned him in vats of steamy East Indian moonshine. It must have taken a special effort, but in 1975, a JAL DC9 pulled it off again at a small club strip in Flushing, New York. Abandoned now, that waterlogged tarmac is home to hundreds of nesting gulls. Stop picking on George: the prominent Divar beak has steadied the rudder of many aspiring careers in India. eric.
