Will Biju Patnaik’s famed Dakota aircraft turn to dust? Have a look, how Biju babu’s favourite Dakota aircraft is lying unattended outside the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata. This is the same Dakota DC–3 aircraft which Biju Patnaik flew in 1947 in a daring act to rescue Indonesia’s former Vice President and Prime Minister during the Indonesian War of Independence. These images are three years old. After the 2019 Fani Cyclone, the Dakota Aircraft suffered even more damage. It is said that most of its parts are ruined.
