To ensure the safety of the aircraft, pilots and people on the ground, the Indian Air Force has also requested all citizens of Delhi, Ghaziabad and its neighbourhood not to throw eatables and garbage in open as eatables thrown out in the open attract birds that can pose a serious threat to the aircraft flying at low levels.
AFCAT Exam 2022 Study Materials:
We all will be celebrating 89th Indian airforce day and what signal we are giving to the people and to youngsters .50 years back on 4th Dec 1971 a young rookie pilot took off on a mission to destroy many vital military targets at Peshwar which is nearly one hour flight from Srinagar.He accomplished his mission by running over the enemy base three time.On return flight he saved his flight Comdr Sqn KN Bajpaye’s life in a dogflight which lasted for a long time before going down to the enemies fire and to the last drop of fuel ins aircraft.IAF was convinced bilatedly and repeatedly recommended Maha Vir Chakra posthumously but later IAF say Time Bar For Bravery.What an absurd answer to a patriotic soldier who sacrificed his life for his motherland.The enemy pilot Wing Comdr Salim Mirza Baig and the Pak had eloquently praised this stupendous pilot’s war heroism..I don’t understand how IAF can motivate it’s forces morales in peace and war if a war hero is not given his pending dues.Hope on Oct 8th the new IAF Chief Air Marshal Vivek Ram Choudhary take a positive action in this regard.
