| Jakkur Aerodrome To the north of
Bangalore, just after the Hebbal flyover is the village of Jakkur, which now hosts the
Jakkur airfield. Jakkur is home to the Bangalore flying club as well as various flying
schools and 'aerospace companies'. The presence of light aircraft is always visible at
Jakkur.

The Club has an Aeronca Superchief which is
maintained in flying condition. This example VT-CQQ
has been flying since four decades! Coincidentally the Jakkur airstrip is also the home
for a HAL HUL-26 Pushpak, VT-DWA which was an HAL
manufactured modified copy of the Superchief. The Pushpak is owned by CABS which conducts
air-experience flights for graduates of IISc.
There are also a couple of 'broken down'
Gliders that probably flew with an NCC Unit. A dilapidated Husky Ultralight can also be
seen besides one of the hangars.
