This is evident from the numerous tech innovations undertaken by the unit. Two of them, i.e. 'Aircraft Ground Cooling System' using a simple desert cooler and 'Mobile DSS Trolley' were totally his initiatives and have been emulated by other units. Wg Cdr Tejbir was a key organiser of successive mega events - The Nagpur Air shows' held in 2007 and 2008. These air shows were executed flawlessly with his personal involvement, remarkable liaison at all levels and close supervision. By his actions, the officer has fully and justifiably stood up to any responsibility assigned to him in his capacity as the Commanding Officer. Through his keen sense of purpose and dynamic leadership, Wg Cdr Tejbir Singh and his team of air warriors achieved many major milestones in all sphere of activities.
