Who is Squadron Leader Priya Sharma? Meet the IAF woman pilot to lead MiG-21 jet's final flypast

The Indian Air Force is set to retire its iconic MiG-21 fighter jet on Friday (September 26), bringing an end to a glorious chapter that lasted over six decades. The farewell and decommissioning ceremony will be held at Chandigarh Air Force Station -- the very base where the aircraft was first inducted in 1963. The No. 23 Squadron, famously known as the "Panthers", will take part in the ceremonial flypast followed by a water cannon salute as the jets make their final landing.
