Bangalore: If Wright Brothers were alive today, they would have exclaimed, “Thank God, we just had to do a little!” The aviation industry incorporating the commercial airlines and warplanes have outgrown expectations.
Technology has had magical capabilities to transform from what was the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903 to a supersonic Lockheed SR 71 Black Bird - aircraft that can travel 3 times the speed of sound and cannot be reached by missiles because of its altitude capabilities. To chronicle this evolution of aviation in the world is definitely a job of a gradgrind.
Few people have the passion to ensure that there is not even a venial error in their passionate chronicling. Sanjay Simha is solely interested in facts when it comes to aeroplanes. In many ways, unlike Robert Franklin Stroud, the birdman of Alcatraz who became a ornithologist, and like him some ways in his passion to understand a specialisation without any requisite qualification, Sanjay is the metallic birdman of India. An avid aviation photographer and collector of aeroplane models, he is a walking encyclopedia on aeroplanes.
