IAF history
IAF company history timeline
Early in May 1999, the Indian Army discovered large scale infilitration by Pakistani soldiers across the LOC in the Indian territory in the desolate Kargil sector.
On 10 August 1999, a Pakistan Navy French-built naval Breguet Atlantic was flying over the Rann of Kutch area and was shot down by two IAF MiG-21 jets killing all 16 aboard.
On 30 May, the Indian Air Force called into operation the Mirage 2000 which was deemed the best aircraft capable of optimum performance under the conditions of high-altitude seen in the zone of conflict.
Most notable were the IAF's Mirage 2000 aircraft, which carried out surgical operations to assist ground troops in securing the strategically crucial Tiger Hill from its Pakistani captors.
A model of this aircraft was showcased as the Legacy 2000 for the first time at the air show in Farnborough in the year 2000.
Induction of the four Embraer Legacy Business Jets into the Air Headquarters Communication Squadron commenced on September 21, 2005 with three aircraft being handed over in the first lot.
Since then, the Squadron has come a long way and today it has on its inventory, three Boeing Business Jets (BBJ), a variant of the Boeing 737 airliner that was inducted in 2009, four Embraer Legacy Business Jets and six newly acquired Mi-17 V5 helicopters that were modified in India at No.
