IAF plane lands in field
[Times of India, October 2004]


Hyderabad: An air force trainer aircraft made an emergency landing in a field in Gagillapur village on the city outskirts on Oct 10th evening. The aircraft had left Air Force Academy in Dundigal around 5:20 p.m. and had to make the emergency landing at around 6:20 p.m. due to a technical snag. Pilot Biswas Singh managed to land the aircraft safely with the help of the control tower. The aircraft did not catch fire as the land, belonging to one Narayana, was wet, the Dundigal police said.
