The IAF will reportedly celebrate its birth anniversary with a ceremonial parade at Air Force Station Hindan. It will also feature a spectacular air display showcasing both vintage aircraft and modern fleet.
The Indian Air Force was established on October 8, 1932, in undivided India which was under colonial rule. It was given the prefix "Royal" by King George VI for its contribution during the Second World War. The prefix was later dropped in 1950 when India became a republic.
