Wing Commander Gajanad Yadava and Warrant Officer AK Tiwari carried out successful skydiving jump from C-130J aircraft and landed at Khardungla Pass,Leh on 08 Oct 20.The landing at such an altitude is extremely challenging due to low oxygen levels combined with low air density andrough andinhospitable hilly terrain.Both the Air Warriors have shown excellent professionalism,grit and determination in overcoming adverse conditions and achievingthe grand success of setting a newIAF record.
