HYDERABAD: The Air Force Academy (AFA) in Dundigal commemorated 50 years of its glorious existence on Tuesday. On the occasion, Air Chief Marshal and Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) RKS Bhadauria flew a sortie in the PC-7 Mk-II trainer with one of the qualified flying instructors, currently serving at the AFA, to mark the golden jubilee.
The CAS also unveiled a statue of the ‘Eternal Pilot’ which was presented to the academy by the pioneers of the 107 Pilots’ Course — the first course to undergo flying training at the AFA. He released an Indian Postal service Special Cover and Golden Jubilee medallion too.
