cOdisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has unveiled former CM Biju Patnaik's iconic "Dakota" DC3 (AT-AUI) aircraft for public display at Biju Patnaik International Airport Bhubaneswar.
On January 18, 2023, the ace pilot Biju Patnaik's Dakota DC-3 aircraft was transported from Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport to the capital of Odisha, where it was rebuilt before being shown to the general public at the Biju Patnaik International Airport.
A 10-member team of Aerospace Research Development required 12 days to dismantle the aircraft and pack it in proper shape for public viewing.
This is perhaps the first airport in the world where an aircraft is being displayed at the entrance for public viewing.
