No. 1 Squadron—the first ever squadron of the Indian Air Force (IAF)—celebrated its Platinum Jubilee on April 1 at Air Force Station Gwalior. Raised on April 1, 1933, the No. 1 Squadron, aka The Tigers, was formed with Wapiti aircraft and is at present operating state-of-the-art Mirage 2000s. The squadron has the distinction of taking part in 11 operations pre- and post-Independence, including the 1937 operations in hostilities in North West Frontier Province, 1961 Operation Vijay–Liberation of Goa, and the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak conflicts. In 1968, the squadron was conferred the prestigious Presidential Colour. On its 75th anniversary, the squadron put up a ceremonial parade and fly-past. Present on the occasion were the Marshal of the IAF Arjan Singh and Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major, besides a host of other dignitaries. SP’s brings you the highlights of the event.
