Special things
Gunjan Saxena is the first female pilot of the IAF.
44-year-old Gunjan is now retired.
She is known as Kargil Girl.

During the Kargil war, Gunjan Saxena flew a cheetah helicopter fearlessly into the war zone. During this time, she lifted from the high hills of Dras and Batalik and brought her back to a safe place. Pakistani soldiers were constantly attacking with rocket launchers and bullets. The missile was also fired on Gunjan's aircraft but the target missed and Gunjan narrowly survived. With no weapon, Gunjan confronted the Pakistani soldiers and rescued many soldiers from there. Please tell that when Gunjan was graduating from Hansraj College, he joined Safdarganj Flying Club of Delhi. At that time both his father and brother were employed in the Indian Army.

During this time they came to know that for the first time women pilots are being recruited in the IAF. He then passed the SSB exam and joined the Indian Air Force as a pilot. At that time, the security forces were dominated by male officers and women officers in the Indian Air Force were not given the opportunity to fly equal to men. Of course, women officers were not allowed to fly fighter jets at that time, but the women of their batch had made history by flying the aircraft for the first time in the Indian Air Force. However, at that time there was reservation for women pilots in the Indian Air Force.

But then it was not clear how they would face mental and physical stress and wars to fly? These women wanted a chance to prove their ability which they got during the Kargil war in 1999. During the war, when the Indian Army needed a pilot, Gunjan and Sri Vidya were sent to the war zone. He also flew several times very close to the Line of Control to complete his mission so that the position of Pakistani soldiers could be ascertained.

Indeed, Gunjan not only proved that he is the true soldier of the country, but he also showed the world what women can do. Now women pilots can also fly fighter planes in the Indian Air Force and the credit goes to the courageous IAF pilots like Gunjan Saxena.
