‘Enriching experience’: PM Modi takes sortie on Tejas

PM Narendra Modi flew in a twin-seat variant of the Tejas light combat aircraft for a 30-minute sortie here Saturday. “The experience was incredibly enriching, significantly bolstering my confidence in our country’s indigenous capabilities, and leaving me with a renewed sense of pride and optimism about our national potential. A flight to remember! Tejas is India’s pride, a manifestation of the strength and skills of 140 crore Indians,” said Modi, after becoming the first PM to fly in a fighter jet.
