NO. 2 SQUADRON Though the Indian Air Force was born with the raising of No.1 Squadron in 1933, it was to take another eight years before the second squadron could be raised. The outbreak of the second world war and the rapid influx of trained pilots and personnel saw to the availability of enough aircrew to equip a second squadron. Accordingly on April 1, 1941, No.2 Squadron, IAF was raised at Peshawar under the command of Flt Lt AB Awan. Its insignia has a winged arrow in the centre of a circle which is topped by India’s national emblem and golden border at the bottom with its motto ‘Amogh lakshya’ meaning ‘True to Aim’ inscribed on it. This squadron is nicknamed as ‘Winged Arrows’.

NO. 17 SQUADRON The No. 17 Squadron, Air Force also known as 'Golden Arrows', celebrated its 60th anniversary in September 2011. Formed in 1951 at Ambala with Harvard IIB aircraft, the squadron saw action in 1965 and 1971 wars. It also played a key role in 'Op Safed Sagar', the Kargil conflict in 1999 and earned the highest number of gallantry awards in the IAF, including a Vir Chakra.  The crest has a flying arrow from a bow below a flying eagle with the Ashoka on top and the Squadron’s Motto ‘Udayam Ajasram’ meaning 'Infinite Ascent' written below.
