MIG BUZZ AT INS HANSA
Our local contributor from Goa has informed us that Mig-29k has been carrying out routine flight from the base , and are mostly seen in pairs , as per our informant Mig-29k mostly have sorties on Tuesday and Wednesday and its a great sight to watch them taking off from the surrounding road to the INS HANSA , Base is also home to Sea harriers and Kiran mk2 trainer jet and the best view could be from Bogmallo beach which is very close to the base and also is home to Indias only naval museum .
