Delhi Flying Club is an iconic flying institution of India from where Biju Patnaik received his flying license.

Among many of Biju Patnaik’s dare devil actions in the air, his role in Indonesian freedom movement is the most celebrated. His heroic act at Srinagar during Pak aggression in 1947, his help to Soviet Red Army during the Second World War and his support to leaders like Jayprakash Narain, Aruna Asaf Ali by ferrying them to different places during freedom struggle are a few instances of his undaunted spirit.
