On 23 June, 1980, Sanjay Gandhi, the politically-ambitious scion of the Gandhi-Nehru dynasty died all of a sudden in a plane crash while piloting the Delhi Flying Club’s newly-acquired Pitts S-2A aircraft. According to his biographer, journalist Vinod Mehta, Sanjay had thrown all caution to the winds. In spite of being a novice pilot, he was indulging in “reckless maneuvers” on that day. On previous occasions he had repeatedly ignored advice from his elder brother Rajiv and others “to wear proper shoes and not chappals while flying.”
