"I'm an Indian woman and am offended by this video. Why would you say that woman in India are not allowed to become a pilot? Ofcourse they are, aren't there many Indian pilots around? There must be something else. Stop generalizing and defaming India!"
@curlaakaari said:
"Appreciated and Inspiring. But it's not that women in India are not allowed or it's hard for them to become a Pilot, it might be a case with her family or just herself. Let's not diminish the facts and criticize the whole country for a spicy story script."
@am._sandeep said:
"But how did she manage to own atleast a single jet. It's not like buying some car or bike guys.. It's a private jet that costs millions.. Nas is really skipping the actual content here..."
@amitgreat said:
"India soars at the top with the maximum number of female commercial pilots as compared to any other country. I don’t know which India they are talking in their show."

Bruce, in order to put the aircraft in a shape that suits his taste, spent another $120, 000 (N49 million) to disassemble it after which the aeroplane was moved to his property in Portland.
