Helipads will be good assests for IAF ... that`s a news for me...:what:
 
Ohh, my sister is living in Anand and u know there r more than 10 helipads already built..
So whenever, modi arrives no one knows where he is going to land..
Also, that Prafful patel of NCP had promised that he is going to built an airport in Anand by 2015, but no where near..:angry:
Now some other patel comes into picture..Lets hope it can be done in time..:bunny:
 
Have family in Jamnagar which is a big IAF base you can see all types of jets there. But the airport security is a joke I arrived from Mumbai and there was nobody there not even 1 guard inside the airport facility, pray after 26/11 things have changed.
