This will be the second C-130 squadron of the IAF after Hindan which will house a squardon of the Super Hercules aircraft.
Once equipped with the aircraft, the squadron complex in the "Air Force Station Arjan Singh", named after the 97-year-old Marshal of the IAF Arjan Singh, would be capable of undertaking all types of air transport missions in this sector, a defence press release here today said.
"Air Force Station Arjan Singh" is the only air base in the Indian Air Force named after the Marshal of the IAF, a living legend.
Singh in his address exhorted the IAF personnel to hold the values of hard work and sincerity close to their hearts.
