India Gets Its First Woman 'Top Gun': Bhawana Kanth Scripts IAF History The Indian Air Force (IAF) has made history with the achievement of Squadron Leader Bhawana Kanth becoming the first woman pilot to clear the Fighter Combat Leader course at the Tactics and Air Combat Development Establishment in Gwalior.
This milestone marks a significant shift in the IAF's culture, recognizing the value of women's contributions to its operations. In recent months, several women have broken new ground within the force.
Squadron Leader Shivangi Singh was awarded the Qualified Flying Instructor badge just months ago, while Squadron Leader Saanya became the first woman officer to earn Category A QFI qualification earlier this year.
