Jakkur Airfield is a general purpose airport serving Bangalore, Karnataka in India. It is the only dedicated general aviation field in Bengaluru. The other three airports are either private (HAL - VOBG), military (Yelahanka - VOYK) or dedicated to commercial operations (BIAL - VOBL). It is spread over an area of 214 acres to the north of Bangalore, just after the Hebbal flyover near the village of Jakkur. The airfield premises include facilities for flight training, area leased to private parties for hangars and maintenance activities and other common facilities (airstrip, fuel station etc.).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kar-gfts.org/About-Us.html )〕 ==Government Flying Training School== The airfield is owned by the Government Flying Training School which has been open sporadically in the last few decades. It was shut in 2006 and was reopened in 2011. The School was first set up in 1950 and is one of the oldest flying schools in the country.〔 Also known as the Jakkur Flying Club, it was founded in 1948 by then Mysore Maharaja Jayachamarajendra, the last scion of the Mysore royal family. The Club owns the only airworthy example of an Aeronca Superchief aircraft in the country. This example, registered as VT-CQQ, has been flying for 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 Centre for Airborne Systems(CABS) which conducts air-experience flights for graduates of IISc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.warbirds.in/karnataka/bangalore/146-jakkur-airfield.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jakkur Airfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
