Friends,

Here is something interesting for all of you. IAF's Jet Mirage-2000 Test Lands At Yamuna-E Way.

The IAF has been considering the use of national highways for emergency landing by fighter aircraft.

This capability was demonstrated by IAF on May 21, 2015 by a Mirage-2000 aircraft which got airborne from one of the IAF bases in Central India. All facilities like make shift Air Traffic Control, safety services, rescue vehicles, bird clearance parties and other requirements were set up by IAF personnel from Air Force Station Agra. Thereafter, in coordination with the District Magistrate and SP of Agra and Mathura, necessary tie up was carried out for activation of the selected stretch. The aircraft made a practice approach on the highway, coming down to a height of 100 mtrs before landing off the next approach. The operations were conducted with active support from the government of Uttar Pradesh, Yamuna Expressway Authority, Toll authorities of JP Infratech and Civil Police.

The IAF has plans to activate more such stretches on highways in the future.

Superb work done by IAF. Cheers!!!

I hope they could get success in future for fighter aircraft like Su35, Su-Pak50 etc., coz war condition will may be even rough than this, and we must always be ready for the worst.


This will lead to improve the quality of highway road. Government should plan such activity that will indirectly make compulsion for HIGHWAY making companies to give super quality surface.
