| Summary/Abstract |
When one enters the main gate at Air Force Academy (AFA) Dundigal, there is little indication of the winds of change blowing through the Indian Air Force's (IAF) premier training establishment. Only when one nears the flight hangars, does the constant drone of aircraft engines give an indication of the high level of flying activity at the base. At AFA the sight and sound of the IAF's newest Basic Trainer Aircraft (BTA), the Swiss Pilatus PC-7 MK-II taking off and landing at regular intervals, symbolises the end of a particularly trying period for basic training of rookie flight cadets within the IAF.
