June 18, 2016 will be marked in the annals of history as Indian Air Force inducts its first batch of women pilots into its fighter squadron.
The lady officers, Avani Chaturvedi, Mohana Singh and Bhawna Kanth, in their early twenties, graduated at Hakimpet Air Force Station in Hyderabad on Saturday and are taking the nation by stride by becoming India’s first women fighter pilots.
The trio, who have made the nation proud, are being heavily lauded on twitter.
