Defence Minister George Fernandes has taken a liking to the fast lane. After flying the state-of-art Sukhoi-30MKI, he became on Friday the oldest man, at 73 years, to fly a MiG-21.

Here, Fernandes and Wing Commander N Harish, commanding officer of 3rd squadron of the Indian Air Force, are all set to get into the fighter aircraft at IAF's Ambala base.
