NEW DELHI, May 21, 2015:

If there is an emergency and you can’t find a airport to land your jet, where do you land?
On an expressway, of course.

India successfully landed a jet fighter on an expressway for the first time, BBC News reported today.
This was part of trials to use roads for emergency landings.
A Mirage 2000 fighter jet of the Indian air force landed on the main road connecting the capital, Delhi, with Agra early on Thursday.

The 102-mile-long Yamuna Expressway is one of India’s most modern highways.
The air force plans to develop various sections of India’s highways to be used as runways at short notice.

Yea. I asked the taxi driver on my way to Delhi airport, "What is the speed limit?". Sounded like he was not sure but replied 80km/h just like the speedometer he was clocking at the time. I told maybe the speed limit is not required since the car was vibrating very bad already due to road surface laugh.gif
