Shirley shared his experiences from a 60-day trip to Delhi, India. He and about 20 others from the 172nd Airlift Wing went there this summer to work with the Indian Air Force. The Indian government had purchased ten C-17 Aircraft from America. The India Air Force is the fourth largest in the world. Earlier the pilots had trained to fly the planes in Jackson. Shirley and the others instructed the land crews in proper cargo handling and other technical matters.
