Bengaluru: Breaking yet another glass ceiling, two women officers have made their way into the IAF’s much-heralded helicopter display team ‘Sarang’.
Squadron Leader Deepika Misra and engineering officer Flight Lieutenant Sandeep Singh made their debut in the 'Aero India' air show here.
It was during her passing out parade at Air Force Academy in December 2006 that Deepika Misra, then a Flight Cadet, first fell in love with the aerobatic displays by the ‘Surya Kirans’ and ‘Sarang’, IAF’s fixed-wing and rotary-wing aerobatic display teams respectively.
She imagined herself flying some day in either of the formation flying teams. Back then however, it seemed an impossible dream but she never gave up hope and prayed hard.
She was commissioned in the helicopter stream and posted to a Chetak/Cheetah helicopter unit.
