    “If you’re not a test pilot, you probably only get to fly around three to four types of aircraft,” says Air Vice Marshal Mohlah, who has flown 27 aircrafts so far. While rifling through some of my dad’s papers I find a list of 60 different kinds that he flew, ranging from MiGs to Jaguars to Gnats to Sukhois, the LCA and the Rafale. Wing Commander Sharma’s career as a test pilot included his selection to be India’s first cosmonaut, undergoing training for the Indo-Soviet joint space venture, where he went into space aboard the SOYUZ T-11 in 1984. Over his 25 years as a test pilot he’s had engines pack up, ejected from his aircraft, undergone surgery and got back into the cockpit, and so much more. “Would I live my life again the way I have so far? Absolutely yes!

      @@briancrawford69 that's great. We will welcome you. I would recommend you to come after pandemic. Meanwhile, you can watch CZcams videos and decide which state you would like to travel because there are 29 States and 7 union territories. Each state is so diverse that it is difficult to completely travel a single state in a month.
      For introduction to India watch this video:
      Indian culture: czcams.com/video/77czO8sxABI/video.html
      Indian cities & nature: czcams.com/channels/iPpjfWaWpSibmc8Y_JgSPQ.html
      Then you can watch official tourism promotion videos by individual state government:
      czcams.com/video/uXmYydzUeL8/video.html
      And official youtube channel of incredible india by ministry of tourism:
      m.czcams.com/channels/MxJPchGLE_CJ1MJbJy-xDQ.html
      After you decide where to go, you also need to be aware of fake people in India who scam foreigners. I don't want you to get scammed by someone and you get a bad experience. For that, watch Karl Rock who dedicated his channel to help foreigners travel safely in India:
      m.czcams.com/channels/tfXgNnA-QcxjHJjk5wXLFg.html
