Uttarlai
was one of the forward airfields
that provided facilities to the HF-24
Maruts, Gnats, Hunters and MiGs during
the war.
Uttarlai airfield was
first set up just before the 71 war. The
HF-24 Maruts flew for
the first time in combat from this airbase.
Today an example of the HF-24
can be seen as the gate guardian
at the Airbase.
The airfield continued
in service even after the war and is today
a major airbase. |
