The Indian Air Force has just broken new ground with a father and his daughter flying in formation on a combat proficiency mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Air Commodore Sanjay Sharma and Flying Officer Ananya Sharma created the record on May 30, when they flew in the same formation of Hawk-132s at the Air Force Station in \u00a0Bidar, where Ananya is undergoing training.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IAF spokesperson Wing Commander Ashish Moghe said, \u201cThere has not been any previous instance in the IAF where a father and his daughter were part of the same fighter formation for a mission.\u201d Since a very early age, Ananya wanted to be a fighter pilot. But, at that time the stream was not open for women. Whenever she would bug her dad about it, he would reassure, \u201cDon\u2019t worry you will be one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnanya after getting commissioned as fighter pilot came and saluted me. It made me really proud,\u201d beamed Air Commodore Sharma. \u201cIt was the biggest day of my life when I flew with Ananya,\u201d he added in a video put out by the IAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
