Summary:
AGRA: For flying officer Bhawana Kanth, second woman pilot of the Indian Air Force (IAF) to fly solo in a fighter jet, touching the sky was never a definable limit. In February this year, flying officer Avani Chaturvedi too made history by becoming the first Indian woman to fly a fighter aircraft solo. Kanth scripted history on Friday as she flew the supersonic jet MiG-21 Bison from the Ambala Air Force Station. I always motivated my daughter to follow her dreams,” added Narain, father of three children, including two daughters.Recalling Kanth’s school and college days, the proud father added, “She was excellent in studies and scored 92% in class X and 85% in her intermediate exams. She later completed a bachelor of engineering (BE) degree in medical electronics from the BMS College in Bengaluru.”.
