IC does fly many airports in the east,north where supply has to be maintained.
some airports are civil,some military,some without any aids likeVOR/ADF.
n some are just runways .

This is one reason why IAC pilots are so importent to the government that they have to give 6 months notice period.

I have done my fair share on aircraft with no GPS/INS/IRS and flown into airfields which are purely VFR based
sky dancer

i didnot ask you your share of no GPS/INS/ADF but VFR approach also has a procedure called visual approach.

your knowledge seems good on kandhar flight n can watch on Discovery channel.

jet air

you can ask pilots from jetair about charter flight to one airport in KARGIL if you are working with jet
ex IAC pilot took the flight.
20,000 alt i think, military strip. i think only jet/allianceair had the a/c capable to go .
two more such landing sites totally north of north.

most of the guys I flew with from IC seemed to convey the message to me that I would have never made the cut in IC
since sky dancer did join IAC he can .......
can hear more stories on your next party from IAC pilots but you will never understand why....your doubts....may remain because you missed IAC experience.
