Indian defense chief joins search for air force plane

NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s defense minister is joining an aerial search of the Bay of Bengal for an air force transport plane that disappeared with 29 people aboard.

The Defense Ministry tweeted that Manohar Parrikar was overseeing the massive search operation Saturday, a day after the Russian-made AN-32 went missing.

The aircraft took off from the southern city of Chennai Friday morning and was flying over the sea to Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. The flight, covering 1,375 kilometers (854 miles), was supposed to last three hours.

    Anyone who willingly flies in an An-32, An-26 or any Antonov aircraft probably has a death wish.
