IAF to Train UK's Royal Air Force Pilots for First Time

• Indian Air Force (IAF) will train pilots of the UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) under a new initiative.
• Three Indian Qualified Flight Instructors (QFI) will deploy to RAF Valley in the UK for two years.
• This marks the first time Indian QFIs will impart fast jet training to British pilots at RAF Valley.
• An Indian Air Force officer was also deployed as an instructor to Royal Air Force College Cranwell in January.
• The initiative strengthens the longstanding relationship and cooperation between the RAF and IAF.
