...pilot takes you on knuckle-whitening maneuvers at speeds of up to 250 m.p.h. There's even a chance to engage in mock dogfights, complete with the sound of simulated gunfire and the release of plumes of smoke when you score a "hit" on an enemy aircraft. After the fray, pilots will demonstrate some of the slicker moves required in air combat, including tail slides, inverted spins and loop-the-loops, subjecting you to more eye-popping G-forces than you ever thought possible.

To thicken the melee, the Hindustan Times, a leading New Delhi paper, also entered the fray. Bombay is currently experiencing India's most febrile newspaper battle, but it's not the only one. In Madras, the Deccan Chronicle is aggressively taking on The Hindu, India's most respected English-language paper...
