Angel India Incredible India

India incredible India. I flew for Air India on a 767 as ACMI you wait and see . It took ages for us to get to the aircraft and every single time the burocracy changed and i have been there for almost 3 months. But as a passenger never had the experience.
Apart from the red tape and the general poverty, people are very nice maybe in a few decades who knows?
