Ratan Tata, who was a licensed pilot, once flew Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft at Bengaluru Aero India Show in 2011. Sharing a picture on Instagram in December 2019, Tata called it "one of my favourite moments from this decade". He also famously became the oldest Indian to fly an F-16 fighter jet at the age of 69 in 2007.
