Pinjore Flying Club back on track but no pleasure rides on cards

Chandigarh: After three years of being grounded, the Pinjore Flying Club has finally found its wings back. The club, being run by Haryana Institute of Civil Aviation, is now back on track, with a chief flying instructor in place to handle the operations.
The club — once an extremely popular attraction because of the glider rides it offered city residents — has been virtually closed since August 2009. With over a dozen craft, including the Cessnas, the club was considered to be the best among the three flying clubs being run by the Haryana government.
“The Pinjore school is preferred by students training for flying craft. This is because of its proximity to Chandigarh and also the perfect weather conditions Pinjore offers for flying. It is most suited for instrument training as well,” says Captain Kamal Kishore, executive director, civil aviation, Haryana.
