Extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable danger.
Captain Smit Machchhar’s presence of mind and determination, even after being gravely injured and during a sudden 14,000-foot plunge, saved 174 precious lives.
His bravery reflects the courage, discipline and sense of duty that define our finest aviators.
My deepest respect to Captain Smit Machchhar. Praying for his speedy and complete recovery.
