The girl who grew up to fly.



This is a true story.


This is not my story but mine , perhaps, to tell.


This is about this young woman pilot...who said that it was not about her


but about being part of a team...who said it was about people...


real people who were suffering who were stranded ..


and who deserved to get home.


Libya,2011,strife and trouble and common people caught into the crossfire.


Women and children stranded in the middle of nowhere with not a hope of


getting home.


This is about the glimmer of hope brought to those in distress by this


young woman pilot and similarly minded team of pilots and aircrew


who flew a remarkably long distance to bring them back home.


Rescue Operations for Indians from Libya were continuing and till now


about nine thousands people been brought to India from Libya.


Special flights are being provided from Tripoli,Sebha and from also


Tunisia to bring Indians to their native.Hundreds of peoples came via Dubai .


Chartered flights also been provided from Tunisia to recover the Indians.


The Operation which is known as "Operation Safe Homecoming" began


to evacuate the Indians from Libya.Its been in news that many Indians


are also trying to escape by road to Egypt ,those people been helped by


the Indians official to stay in Cairo and booked flights for them to come


home safely.


The Kingfisher Airlines decided to provide Air crafts to bring people to India.


As this young woman pilot said...


it was about the first smile the rescued children smiled..


Courage!
