New Delhi, Jul 4 : The Golden Jubilee celebrations of the front-line Sea Harrier squadron of the Indian Navy, Indian Naval Air Squadron (INAS) 300, will be launched tomorrow at Goa with over a hundred White Tigers in attendance.
The events scheduled include a two-day professional seminar on carrier-borne fighter operations, a get together of the veterans of the Squadron and the release of a commemorative first day cover and postage stamp, a defence ministry release said here today.
The seminar will see discussions on esoteric subjects of topical interest to a navy poised for growth in aircraft carrier based power.
The discussions will also be held on aero medical paper that discusses the effects of 'high G' catapult launches and challenges of spatial orientation particularly in night operations over the sea, a paper that explores operating concepts for future indigenous aircraft carriers considering the various options viz Short Take-off and Vertical Landing (STOVL), among others.
These discussions are of particular interest as the Indian Navy today stands at a vital cross road regarding operating concept for its future indigenous carriers.
One paper also discusses latest developments in fighter direction and control in an environment of Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft.
On July 7, the Department of Post will release a Commemorative Postage Stamp and a First Day Cover in a special ceremony with Dr SS Sidhu, the Governor of Goa, as the Chief Guest.
Admiral Nirmal Verma, PVSM, AVSM, ADC, the Chief of the Naval Staff, along with a number of senior dignitaries and notable veterans such as Admiral RH Tahiliani and Admiral Arun Prakash will be present during the ceremonies.
The White Tigers have an illustrious history with many significant contributions over the past 50 years. On May 18, 1961, Lt Cdr RH Tahilhiani (later Admiral and Chief of Naval Staff) landed the first Seahawk, piloted by an Indian, onboard the INS Vikrant.
Ever since, the Squadron has been at the fore front of naval operations as the premier front line fighter squadron of the Indian Navy.
