New Delhi: The Indian Air Force is readying ground facilities to support the Phalcon airborne early warning and control aircraft it bought from Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) two years ago for around $ 1.1 billion.
Sources said work had begun at the IAF bases in Chandigarh and Bareily, where the first of the Phalcons, scheduled to arrive in Nov 2007 will be based. It is expected to formally enter service in early 2008.
