Rising from the wreck of Thuriya & GGR18 that nearly killed him, Cdr Abhilash Tomy KC, NM is within sniffing distance of history in #GGR22. Son of India, pride of Asia, he needs our support now more than ever. Khel Ratna, Arjuna or better? R/T your support 🙏🏿❤️ Narendra Modi Dept of Sports MYAS

Ever heard about an Indian Navy Sailor who stole an Indian Navy Hawker Sea Hawk to satisfy his urge of flying after he failed to join the Indian Air Force? Leading Aircraft Ordnance Mechanic Ajit Singh Gill had a long urge to fly fighter planes and his ambition to be seated into

As a coffee enthusiast, after sampling brews from around the world, I’m very impressed with India’s Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters specialty coffee. Their quality and flavour profile is comparable with some of the best from Brazil & South America.

Island-hopping around the stunning Azores archipelago with SATA Azores Airlines. Remarkably, every island, no matter how remote, has an airport. Incidentally, the Terceira Island airport (LPLA) is an alternate (a diversion airport for emergency landings) for transatlantic flights.

Made it to 19,341 feet (5895 mts) without our wings. Each of us has flown over Mt. Kilimanjaro but making it to the summit on foot was something else. Here's to the most physically excruciating, mentally challenging and altogether rewarding experience of our lives.

Ever heard of the remote Cocos (Keeling) Islands? The first time I did was when I was operating a long-haul flight to Australia. While it may seem like another dot on the map, this island which is an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean is in fact, an en-route emergency
