A Mirage 2000 fighter jet of the Indian Air Force (IAF) test-landed this morning on the Yamuna Expressway just outside Delhi, as part of drills for emergency landings on national highways. At 6.40 am, the fighter plane, which flew down from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, skimmed the highway and landed briefly before taking off again. Local people, including villagers, gaped at the sight. "The aircraft made a practice approach on the highway, coming down to a height of 100 metres before landing off the next approach," said an IAF statement.
