In a first, Air India's all-women crew lands longest flight from US to Bengaluru

An all-women cockpit crew scripted history after landing Air India's inaugural San Francisco-Bengaluru flight at Kempegowda International Airport.

The crew flew the flight over the North Pole, taking the Atlantic route to reach the Karnataka capital at the other end of the world.

This was Air India's longest direct route flight with an all-women pilot team.

Flight AI176 departed from San Francisco in the USA at around 8.30 pm (local time) on Saturday and landed at the Kempegowda International Airport at around 3.45 am (local time) on Monday.

“Today, we created world history by not only flying over the North Pole but also by having all women pilots who successfully did it.

We are extremely happy and proud to be part of it,” said Captain Zoya Aggarwal.

This was the first direct non-stop flight between the west coast of United States & southern India.

10 Surprising Pi Day Facts

10 Surprising Pi Day Facts. In honor of Pi Day on March 14, here are 10 facts about the essential math constant. 1. Because pi is an infinite number, every single digit will never be determined. Pi has currently been calculated to 22,459,257,718,361 digits. 2. Pi has it’s own writing style called Pilish. The number of letters in successive word are chosen to match the number sequence found in pi. 3.

Physicist Larry Shaw, the "Prince of Pi," launched the first pi celebration in 1988 at a San Francisco science museum. 6. Some people believe that tau, which is pi multiplied by two, is a more intuitive irrational number. 7. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 and Stephen Hawking died on March 14, 2018. 8. The symbol for pi is the Greek letter π . It is the first letter of the Greek words for “periphery” and “perimeter.”. 9. Because the exact number of pi can never be calculated, we will never be able to find the exact circumference or area of a circle. 10. The record for most digits of pi memorized is held by Rajveer Meena of India. He recited 70,000 decimal places of pi in 2015
