Fishtail Blog
 

This is the blog of Fishtail Air that I have been following for some time. It is updated periodically and is a good source of news and updates about the company.

Fishtail Air Pvt. Ltd.

VF must have been busy with all the workload due to SAR because of the monsoon season as well as because of the added work as one of their helicopters crashed recently.
