Throughout the journey, the team aims to engage with the youth and inspire them to consider careers in the Armed Forces. The initiative seeks to raise awareness about the illustrious history of the IAF and honour the bravery of air warriors in various conflicts and rescue operations. Notably, several former Air Force Chiefs will join the rally at different stages, further enriching the experience and legacy of this historic event.
