Proud wings of a nation

Want to fly an aircraft without a license and experience the thrill without fear? Want to see the black-box of an airplane which is actually orange? Or do you just want to be amidst old trees and green surroundings where real planes and helicopters are on display? If yes, then head to HAL Heritage Centre & Aerospace Museum, the first of its kind set up in India at HAL Airport Road, about 10 km from Bangalore city railway station.
Established in 2001, the aviation museum is spread over 10 acres of lush green land. “It is indeed a rare tourist attraction in the city. You can see a dozen aircraft models, satellite launch vehicles (GSLV, PSLV) and fly the aircraft on simulators,” says HAL Chairman R K Tyagi.

“We have done some modifications in last few months so that the history and the achievements of the country in aeronautics are displayed in eye-catchy ways,” he adds.
