India’s first three women fighter pilots meet Arjan Singh

New Delhi:  In a rare moment, India’s first three women fighter pilots today met country’s senior most air warrior Arjan Singh, who regaled them with his anecdotes as he felicitated them at his house. While the three women fighter pilots are aged around 22-23, Singh, the Marshal of the Air Force is 97 year-old. The age difference between them is about 75 years. Singh, who was the Chief of the Air Staff during the 1965 conflict with Pakistan, is a living legend and is also the senior most fighter pilot of the IAF. He has been a constant source of inspiration to generations of air-warriors.
“An interaction and encouragement from the ‘Marshal of The Air Force’ will be a matter of great honour for the budding young women fighter pilots and will motivate them to excel in their profession,” the IAF said in a statement. IAF has been inducting women pilots in the flying branch since 1994.
