8 October - Air Force Day in India
IAF is ranked as the fourth largest operational air force around the world. Ahead of India, comes the US and China. The largest airbase in entire Asia is the Hindon Air Force Station, which is situated in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad city. Not to forget, it is also the eighth largest in the world.
The Indian Air Force not only safeguards Indian territory and national interests from all threats, but also provides support during natural calamities. The IAF provides air support to the Indian Army on the battlefield as well as strategic and tactical airlift capabilities.
The Motto of the Indian Air Force (Touch the sky with Glory) has been taken from the eleventh chapter of the Gita, the Discourse given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra during the Great War of Mahabharata.
