Notes:

Gajraj from No.25 Squadron "The Himalayan Eagles" lifts-off on a slight crosswind for its short flight back to base at Chandigarh. An IndiGo A320 holds short on the last taxiway with an IAF Dornier 228 Tail # HM-686 on the adjoining one. The 25th Squadron was formed on March 1st 1963 with 4 AN-12's for air maintenance of Indian Army positions in Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir sectors. It is also the life line of the armed forces in the Himalayan region which are completely dependent on air support during the winter months when road communications shut.
