What historical aviation incident did the evacuation of the British F-35B jet from Thiruvananthapuram remind people of?
IAF's Mirage-2000 recovery from Mauritius in 2004The evacuation of the stranded British F-35B stealth fighter from Thiruvananthapuram in July 2025 brought back memories of the Indian Air Force’s daring recovery of a damaged Mirage-2000 from Mauritius in 2004. The Mirage-2000 had crash-landed during an air show at Port Louis, suffering extensive damage. A team of IAF engineers repaired it in just 10 days, and Squadron Leader Jaspreet Singh flew it back to India via a 4,000 km non-stop flight over the Indian Ocean with three mid-air refuelings. The mission was extremely risky due to the aircraft’s condition and the remote flight path. Similarly, the F-35B was stranded for 37 days before British engineers repaired it and flew it to Australia.
