Nashik: 43 officers awarded 'Aviation Wing' on successful completion of Combat Aviators Course

A total of 43 officers were awarded 'Aviation Wings' on successful completion of the Combat Aviators Course during a valedictory ceremony held at the Combat Army Aviation Training School here on Saturday.

"Valedictory Ceremony held at #Combat #ArmyAviation Training School, #Nashik. 43 Officers awarded 'Aviation Wings' on successful completion of Combat Aviators Course," Indian Army said in a tweet.

The Army Aviation Corps celebrated its 34th Raising Day on November 1 this year.

Army Aviation Corps has grown from an arm with limited reconnaissance and observation assets into a potent aerial manoeuvre arm of the Indian Army.

Combat aviation assets with modern avionics, electro-optics and weapon systems can perform multiple tasks in the entire spectrum of conflict in varied and inhospitable terrain including high altitude areas.
