IAF Day 2021: Wishes, quotes and messages to send on 89th Foundation Day of Indian Air Force

Every year, the Indian Air Force (IAF) Day is marked on 8 October. The day is celebrated to commemorate the 89th foundation day of the IAF. Established in 1932 as a supporting part of the UK’s Royal Air Force, the IAF has since distinguished itself as the protector of the Indian airspace. Since its establishment, the IAF has been a crucial part of the country’s armed forces and has worked consistently towards strengthening the national security of India. This year, the celebrations for IAF Day will commemorate the heroes of the 1971 India-Pakistan War, which resulted in the creation of Bangladesh. The celebrations will be held at the Hindon Air Force Station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh in the presence of senior officials of the three armed forces as well as the Chief of Air Staff.
