Springdales DK felicitates alumni on selection for Gaganyaan mission
Indian Air Force Group Captain Angad Pratap has been selected by the government for the mission as one of the four astronauts.
The brave men and women of the Indian Air Force fight in ruthless terrains and dangerous conditions to ensure the safety of the country and its people. On the country’s 70th Republic Day, National Geographic and the Indian Air Force are paying a special tribute to the heroes of the nation by unveiling an exclusive documentary titled Extreme Flight: Indian Air Force.
The documentary captures the dangers and difficulties the Indian Air Force encounters while operating in the country’s most hostile environment and weather conditions– from Jammu &Kashmir to the North East. National Geographic, known for in-depth storytelling and giving viewers unprecedented access, will give viewers inside access to the Indian Air Force’s high altitude operations in this documentary. It will showcase the latest machines in the Indian Air Force’s arsenal, and also introduce some of the men and women who put their lives at risk for the duty to the nation.
Speaking of the documentary that would tell the story of the brave Indian Air Force, the IAF spokesperson said, ‘It takes grit, determination, and unconditional love for the nation to be a part of the Indian Air Force. The physically and emotionally exhausting training processes that every IAF official goes through, is truly inspirational. It is great to see National Geographic showcasing this documentary, the essence of what it takes to conquer aerospace. We have worked closely with the channel to bring out the lesser known stories of our operations in such harsh climatic conditions. I am confident that the documentary will take viewers a step closer to understand the challenges and motivations of our officers.”
