NEW DELHI:Less than a fortnight after taking over as new Air Chief, Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa today took MiG 21 to sky for a solo sortie from a forward airbase in Rajasthan.
The Air Chief, who started his innings on January 1, flew the front line combat fighter from the Utarlai base near Barmer. “The new chief MiG 21 T-96 for the sortie,” an official spokesperson of IAF told reporters.
