Flags of Honour remembers the soldiers and members of Indian Uniformed forces who lost their lives due to a mishap. This is a great loss to the Nation.
Lt Cdr Rahul Nair and Cdr S.K. Maurya killed in an Air Crash
Hyderabad, March 03, 2010: - Lt Cdr Rahul Nair and fellow pilot Cdr S.K. Maurya lost their lives during the Indian Aviation 2010 air show in Hyderabad. The pilots, having more than a thousand flying hours to their credit, were flying the Kiran MkII aircraft, which was inducted in the armed forces in the 1980s.
Post the crash, the Indian navy has grounded the fleet of 20 Kiran trainer aircraft. The crash has left many concerned over the safety of these big birds used by our armed forces, let alone whether they are completely functional and serviceable for a war. Since last year, at least 13 defence aircraft have crashed, killing 16 security personnel.
