"The terrorist attack on Pathankot airbase and Uri Army base are a stark reminder of the times we live in. To counter any sub-covenantal threat to our bases, we have instituted various new security measures," said Air Chief Marshal Raha said on the occasion of 84th anniversary of the founding of the Indian Air Force. The Indian Air Force celebrated its 84th anniversary at the Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad with a large parade and an air display. The flypast included the vintage aircraft, modern transport aircraft and frontline fighter aircraft. President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also greeted the Indian Air Force.
