He is on a career high, too, with seven medals in his kitty at the passing out parade of the Air Force Academy in Hyderabad on December 16. Ishan is the recipient of the President’s plaque for being first in the overall order of merit in the 180 pilot course. He has also bagged the chief air staff’s sword of honour. Add to these, the Dasgupta Trophy for the best cadet in flying for the fighter’s stream and the Maintenance Command Trophy for topping in the ground subjects. He has also come first in aerobatics and is the top candidate possessing officer like qualities and general service knowledge. Also, Ishan has emerged as the top pilot in all three streams — fighters, helicopters and transport. “We are indeed proud of him as he has bagged all the awards at the passing out parade four days ago and as far as I know it is a rare achievement,” gushed his grandfather Uday Shankar, a retired engineer. Born in this city, 21-year-old Ishan decided early to become a fighter pilot. The inspiring force behind this early decision was his father Group Captain Pradeep K. Sharan. “I used to hear a lot about life in the air force from my father. Hence I joined the Rashtriya Indian Military College in Dehradun in Class VIII,” says Ishan. His most memorable moment was when he went on his first solo on an HPT 32 after 54 hours of flying with an instructor. Thereafter, he flew Kiran and MIGs. “Flying a jet is challenging and fulfiling,” he says. But he agrees that there are moments of danger, too. Though the only child of his parents, his mother Tulika, too, wanted her son to be in the air force. |
