Indian Air Force

Indian Gorkha, Major Abhijai Thapa, 29, who was killed in a chopper crash at Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh in October last year, was posthumously awarded Shaurya Chakra, the third highest peacetime gallantry award. Anjali-Thapa his wife received gallantry award the Shaurya Chakra for him. It was a moment of pride for Anjali Thapa as she received the third highest peacetime gallantry award, the Shaurya Chakra, posthumously on behalf of her husband, Major Abhijai Thapa in Delhi on Saturday at the defence investiture awards ceremony.

Major Abhijai gallantry award the Shaurya Chakra

On 01 Oct 2014, Maj Abhijai Thapa was flying Cheetah Helicopter and was returning from China border after surveillance, along with one co-pilot and an engineer officer, when his helicopter developed a major technical snag when it was flying above a village with over 11000 residents.

Hailing from Dharamsala- headquarters of the Kangra district, Major Thapa, who was serving in Army Aviation Corps, was killed along with his two comrades Major Major Vikas Varyani, 29, and Captain Avinash Somavanshi on October 1, 2014 after the Cheetah helicopter they were flying in crashed due to a technical snag.

Having been a trained pilot, Major Thapa had an experience of more than 250 flying hours and was posted with 39 (independent) Recce and Observations Flight under the Uttar Bharat Area Headquarters in Bareilly.

On the fateful day, Major Thapa was nominated as captain of the aircraft for operational readiness consolidation sortie for OP IRON FIST for induction into operational area and battle inoculation of aviators.

The aircraft suffered a catastrophic failure of tail rotor while flying over the heavily populated area of Bhartol village and unit lines of 54 Engineer Regiment where a Sainik Sammelan was in progress.

Major Thapa, having identified the emergency promptly brought the problem to the notice of air traffic controller (ATC) and tried desperately to maneuvering the crippled chopper away from the inhabited area.

Keeping the safety of villagers as primary concern, Major Thapa exhibited indomitable valour, courage and disregard for personal safety. He took the chopper towards the aviation base and disconnected the fuel supply in order to minimize the collateral damage. Major Thapa and his colleagues could not get time to eject as the chopper was very close to the ground.

“The aviator successfully diverted the aircraft despite the tremendous damage suffered in order to save the lives of his brethren in uniform and populace of village Bhartol. Major Abhijai put the lives of these men ahead of his own and sacrificed himself in the process,” reads the citation uploaded on the website of Indian Army.

“For upholding the credo of service self and sacrificing his life to save the soldiers of 54 Engineer Regiment and the civilian populace, Major Thapa is recommended for the award of Shaurya Chakra (posthumous),” adds the citation.

Meanwhile, his proud father Sunil Thapa said the award was recognition selfless, heroic act of his son who made supreme sacrifice by taking a bold decision at the hour of crisis and saved hundreds of lives.

“His demise is heartbreaking and irreparable loss to the family. We are proud of him for he laid his life in service of nation,” Sunil added.

5 officers killed as IAF's C-130J Hercules Helicopter Crashes

In a shocking loss for the (IAF) Indian Air Force, one of its most modern special operations C-130 J aircraft crashed Friday during a low-level, tactical training mission, killing all five crew and destroying the plane.

The aircraft, inducted in 2010, was commanded by Wing Commander Prashant Joshi, an experienced pilot and the second-in-command of the 77 ‘Veiled Vipers’ squadron. It had three other pilots on board, including one who was undergoing training.

Sources said the C-130 J was part of a two aircraft formation that had taken off from Agra and was to carry out low-level flying training before returning to base. Official and eyewitness accounts said the aircraft apparently grazed a hillock before crashing in a riverbed site 116 km west of Gwalior on the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border.

5 officers killed IAF's C-130J Hercules Helicopter Crash

“The aircraft, numbered KC 3803, was the number two of the formation and was carrying out a tactical flying training mission. The loss of the aircraft was ascertained by the lead aircraft and rescue choppers were sent from Gwalior,” an air force officer told The Indian Express.
What has come as a surprise is that the aircraft was believed to be in good technical condition and did not give out any distress signal before going down. “The crash was sudden and there was no indication from the crew that anything was wrong,” the officer said.

While a court of inquiry that has been ordered will rely on flight data information from its black box as well as the account of the lead aircraft of the formation, the investigation is expected to focus on a controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) situation or a sudden loss of control due to a technical or human error, among others.

Accounts from the ground said the aircraft was observed to be flying low and hitting a small hillock before disintegrating and catching fire on a river bed. Local villagers were the first to reach the site and recovered the bodies of the crew who were thrown out of the aircraft after it disintegrated on impact.

The crew has been identified by the air force as Wing Commander Prashant Joshi (Pilot), Wing Commander Raji Nair (Co-pilot), Squadron Leader Kaushik Mishra (Pilot undergoing training), Squadron Leader Ashish Yadav (Navigator) and Warrant Officer KP Singh (Systems Operator).

C-130 J ‘Super Hercules’ aircraft that were inducted starting 2010. The cost of the fleet was $962 million and India is processing an order of six more such aircraft.
the C 130J is known to be a hardy, tough aircraft capable of landing in short, unprepared runways, and the crash has shocked the air force as it was the plane of choice for tough missions.

While the C-130 airframe has been in service since the 1950s, the ‘J’ variant is the latest in the series and is considered to be one of the safest in its class. The only other incident of a C-130J crashing was in March 2012 when a Norwegian air force plane crashed into a mountain range in an accident that was later attributed to air traffic control and pilot error.
