Jamshedpur: Despite the overcast sky and occasional drizzle, the mood was upbeat as the energy provided by this annual celebration enthused the citizens of Jamshedpur who came together to pay tribute to the doyen of Indian industry, Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhai (JRD) Tata on his 112th birth anniversary.

A visit to the Sonari Aerodrome on JRD Tata’s birth anniversary is now virtually a tradition in Jamshedpur with scores of school children making a beeline for it early in the morning.

Not withstanding the attraction of other programs held through the day, the static aircraft display and aero modeling is the major highlight for everyone.
