The Indian Air Force (IAF) is in mourning following the tragic death of Wing Commander Namansh Syal, a dedicated and accomplished fighter pilot who lost his life in a Tejas crash at the Dubai Air Show on Friday. The incident occurred while Syal was performing a low-level aerobatic manoeuvre, and the cause of the crash is currently under investigation by a court of inquiry. Syal, a native of Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district, is survived by his wife, who is also an IAF officer, their six-year-old daughter, and his parents. The IAF has paid tribute to Syal's unwavering commitment to the nation, exceptional skill, and unyielding sense of duty. In a statement, the IAF remembered Syal as a 'thorough professional' and 'dedicated fighter pilot' who served the nation with pride. The air force also expressed its solidarity with Syal's family in this hour of grief, honouring his legacy of courage, devotion, and honour. The crash of the Tejas at the Dubai Air Show marks the second accident involving the indigenous multi-role Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) in less than two years. The incident sent shockwaves through the aviation community, and the IAF has vowed to determine the cause of the crash through a thorough investigation.
