My Kanpur trip in Dec '04

I visited Kanpur, city of my Alma Mater, after a long time in December 2004. The purpose of visit was dual: To visit HBTI & take care of alumni initiatives, and Air Deccan's inaugural flight launch. Following are news reports about Air Deccan's Delhi-Kanpur-Delhi flight launch (Click on pics for bigger version). It was quite an experience being involved in the launch, especially since the airport was being opened for commercial flights after 10 years so. Right from getting the airport opened for action to making sure that all the requisite permissions were in place for flight to land and take off, it was a thrill that culminated in inaugural Delhi-Kanpur flight landing in Kanpur, and me boarding the inaugural Kanpur-Delhi flight 40 minutes later.
