Additional Notes

| On 7- 3-94, an AN-32 aircraft was authorised to fly an Air Maintenance sortie in the Ladakh area. While flying at a height of 27,000 feet, it experienced explosive decompression resulting in a loud bang and the cockpit misting up. When the cockpit had cleared the other crew members noticed that the Navigator's observation Bubble had burst. The Navigator, Wg. Cdr. RD Awasthi, was missing, apparently having been sucked out due to the sudden decom-crossion. The aircraft immediately aborted the mission and carried out a safe land-ing at Leh without any further damage. Extensive aerial search by helicopters were made but the missing naviga'or Wg. Cdr. Awasthii could not be located. Source: Rajya Sabha |
