After the inauguration of the Poorvanchal Expressway, PM Modi is now watching an air show at the airstrip in Sultanpur. Fighter jets like Rafael, Sukhoi and Mirage are doing touch and go operations at this air show. That is, planes come flying and go back to the sky as soon as they touch the ground. The runway is 3.2 kilometers long. It is designed as a preparation for war-like situations. Videos of air shows by the Air Force on the expressway have also surfaced in which IAF yawners are seen showing their mettle.
