Born on 17 July 1943 in Issewal village, Ludhiana (Punjab), Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon was destined for the skies. Leaving behind his engineering studies, he followed his dream and joined the Indian Air Force, being commissioned on 4 June 1967.

Serving with No. 18 Squadron “The Flying Bullets”, he earned respect for his skill, calmness, and indomitable spirit.

On 14 December 1971, during the Indo-Pak War, when Srinagar Air Base came under attack by six Pakistani Sabre jets, Flying Officer Sekhon took off alone in his Gnat. Outnumbered and undeterred, he shot down one enemy aircraft and damaged another before his own jet was hit. He fought bravely till his last breath, defending his nation with unmatched courage.

For his supreme sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra — the nation’s highest wartime gallantry award — becoming the only Indian Air Force officer ever to receive this honour.

Today, Flying Officer Sekhon stands as a symbol of valour, patriotism, and eternal inspiration — a true hero, a proud Minervan, and the pride of the Indian Air Force. 🇮🇳
