People were surprised when five planes landed together on Sunday afternoon at Mohammadabad airstrip in Farrukhabad district of UP. People could not understand why so many planes were landed here at the same time. On enquiry, it was found that the aircraft could not take off due to bad weather. Because of this, they were stopped here. Five two-seater Kanpur’s Garg Aviation Company aircraft landed on the airstrip one after the other at around 3:20 pm. Pilots and trainees who had flown in from Kanpur for training were on board.
After staying at the airstrip for about two hours, pilot Nikhil, who was training the students, said the aircraft could not take off further due to bad weather in Kanpur. Now the planes will take off on Monday morning. Heeralal, the watchman of the Horticulture Department posted at the airstrip, said that last month also, 14 aircraft landed on the airstrip. Captain Mayank Garg, the chief aircraft instructor of Garg Aviation, said that all five aircraft had flown for regular training.
His landing at Mohammadabad airstrip was pre-decided, and due permission was taken. After here, all the planes were to be landed at Saifai airstrip and from there to Kanpur. He said it is part of training, and regular planes land and take off here. According to Captain Garg, a message was given to stop the aircraft at Mohammadabad airstrip due to bad weather in Kanpur; now, the aircraft will fly to Kanpur on Monday morning.
