Three years ago, flying had come to a complete halt here. The other two flying clubs of Patiala \u00e2\u20ac\u201d government\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Northern India Flying Club and privately owned Birmi Flying Academy \u00e2\u20ac\u201d however, remain trapped in a legal battle.<br \/>At the Patiala Aviation Club, on the other hand, it is time for action. And like the club, Sukhdeep too is raring to go. In her ambitious flight, she has company of at least a dozen girls (most of them from the rural heartland of Punjab) who have enrolled with the club to learn flying. For Sukhdeep, DGCA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s green signal to relaunch flying at the club came as a breather. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I had long waited for this day,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she says, as she takes her ground lessons.<br \/>Ask the ambitious brigade if flying pinches their pockets and they reply, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The risk is momentary; the return everlasting.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<br \/>Though initially the DGCA had given the Patiala Aviation Club a licence to start flying lessons for two months, it has extended the permission till November 1.
