With a father presently serving in IAF and grandfather who was a flight gunner in the Aviation Research Centre, it came as no surprise that Mohana Singh, from Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan, joined the IAF and opted for the fighter stream. She joined IAF training in Jan 2015 and has since then flown the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II ac and Kiran ac before being commissioned into the fighter stream in June, 2016 as one of the first batch of three women officers who were selected for training as fighter pilots. Having completed one semester of training on the Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer, she will be placed as the frontline fighter squadron of the IAF.
