Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajiv Pratap Rudy, who has a commercial pilot's licence, on Thursday flew in a Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter aircraft.
Rudy said that he enjoyed the flight.
"I flew in one of the finest fighter aircrafts Su-30. I had been in the air for about 38 minutes, did all what is possible with this aircraft. Captain Carlos was the Wing Commander, who was there with me, flying with me," said Rudy.
"I went up to 6 G. I went into barrel rolls, loops. I did whatever this fighter aircraft can do," he added.
This was the first time Rudy flew in a fighter aircraft.
