Yep, as I mentioned, it was known as Gannavaram before it became Vijayawada. But my Indian friend may just have been mistaken about the Vultees.
We still operate into Visag though. It's a joint mil/ civ airport now.
Not seen a Krait yet, but our airfield is certainly home to Cobras as my chum found a big one sleeping between the main wheels on his walk around. He thought it prudent to go absolutely nowhere near it.
