Today, I was honoured with a commendation from the Chief of the Air Staff for work in the field of #IAFHistory. This recognition has left me overwhelmed and deeply touched. It feels like a bridge across time, connecting my efforts to my father's legacy in the @IAF_MCC . I’m…
The first Air Marshal from the non-flying branch Among the 272 #IAFHistory events I have logged for 26 Nov, one name keeps tugging at me, a story I have tried and failed to do full justice to for years: Air Marshal Gurbachan Singh. Born in 1918, Gurbachan Singh was commissioned…
On this day in 1953, the colours at Ambala Air Force Station changed, and with them the very soul of the station. For nearly two decades, Ambala had been the place where pilots were shaped. After serving as an operational RAF/IAF base for a bit during the 1930s, it trained the…
This was not war. Nor a combat squadron. It was an airshow, a show. A pilot died in front of us. The honourable choice was to stop. “The show must go on” is an IAF creed too, but one meant for war and combat training, not a cover to keep a crowd entertained.
One winter morning in 2005, the radar scopes at lit up with trouble. Four F 16 Fighting Falcons were on the screen, and twelve “enemy” aircraft were closing in to shoot. This was not Nevada or the Gulf. This little air battle was unfolding in the skies over Bengal, in the middle…

1/3 On 7 May 1957, a few Dakotas took off from Agra and landed in Pathankot to pick up supplies to be dropped across the Pir Panjal Range. On the return trip, they were caught in a storm. One aircraft and the crew piloted by Flying Officer Jagdish Sodhi were lost.
Gp Capt Ezra D’Sylva Masillamani: Brilliant, War decorated… and dismissed I am going to indulge one more day in Uhtred’s “destiny is all” mood. Today marks the birth anniversary of Ezra D’Sylva Masillamani (1774), born on 24 Nov 1922 and commissioned into the IAF with the 10th…
RAF pilot Tim Davies is a widely respected aviation analyst. His breakdown of the Tejas crash has gone viral and carries weight, and he may well be right. I am no expert, but my only concern is his core premise. He frames the risk around a pilot in his late forties, inferred…
