Defensive Play: Athletes in uniform

London Olympic bronze medallist shuttler Saina Nehwal today experienced the thrill of flying in an Indian Air Force aircraft, and described the experience as "dream come true".

She flew in 'Kiran Jet Trainer' for about 20 minutes, after taking off from the training academy in Dindigul on the outskirts of the city.

"It's a great honour. It was dream come true for me to fly. Everyone in their childhood dream of joining either Air Force or Army. We dream of becoming one of them.
