Indian Air Force celebrates 80th anniversary

On the 80th anniversary of IAF, the 1930s Tiger Moth biplane, the first resurrected aircraft of the vintage squadron of the force, was the star attraction to the flying display team for the event.

  • As soon as the yellow-coloured aircraft (seen in the background), which saw action during World War II, took off, it was welcomed by a thunderous applause from the gathering which included families of air warriors and school children.
