Aero India 2011: Reaching for skies
The Aero India show at Bangalore's Yelhanka Air Force station was a show of immense star power and aerial theatrics at its supreme best. People from different walks of life made it to the show. The Indian Cricket Team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni came visiting and so did Ratan Tata - unfazed by the controversy surrounding his name in the 2G scam. Bollywood was represented by Shahid Kapoor. These images are not flights of fantasy but great work done by some real heroes.
