Watch: Assam mason builds his own seaplane

A man from Titabor in the Jorhat district in Assam has built a seaplane despite lacking any professional guidance or training in this field.

Bubul Saikia, from Chorai pani village in Titabor, is a mason by profession. As a child, Saikia always dreamt of flying high in the sky. Since last two years, he has dedicated himself on this project and finally, with the help of his friends he built the plane of his dreams.

“Like everyone else, I used to dream of flying in the sky. I wanted to build something on my own to fly in the sky. I still dream of it and wish to succeed, but let’s see how far I can manage to go. I have built every part on my own,” Saikia said.
