Mysore: There was a huge applause when Cessna-152 aircraft took off the ground from Mandkalli Airport here on Monday. As part of Dasara celebrations, the district administration, in association with Government Flying Training School (GFTS-Jakkur, Bangalore), is offering aircraft ride for Rs 2,500 under Maharaja package.
The administration had planned to bring two aircraft Cessna-152 and Cessna-172. But only two-seater Cessna-152 was able to land in Mysore. "The four-seater aircraft couldn't land due to unavoidable reasons and non-availability of pilot," said DC P S Vastrad. Cessna-172 would land in the coming days, after clearing some norms and when the pilot is available.
Speaking on the features of Cessna-152, GFTS director Naveen Raj Singh said it is an American two-seater, fixed-tricycle gear, general aviation airplane. The plane is piloted by assistant flight instructor Madhurima Mukherjee.
