Claim: Hindan Air Force Station has hosted the Indian Airforce Anniversary celebration as an annual event, allowing IAF aircraft more space during their air shows.
Evidence: In 2006, Indian Air Force shifted its 74th Anniversary celebration venue from Palam Airport in Delhi, to Hindan to avoid airspace closure for commercial traffic, where the Air Force Day Parade cum investiture ceremony was held on 8 October, and an air display by 66 aircraft. This also gave the IAF aircraft more air space during the air show, till then was uses primarily as a helicopter base. After that it has become an annual event at the station.
