Avani Chaturvedi, 24, has become the first Indian woman to fly a fighter jet solo.
She flew a Mig-21 Bison for 30 minutes earlier this week, the air force said.
"It is the breaking of a glass ceiling," spokesperson Anupam Banerjee told the BBC. He called it a "big day" in the history of the country's armed forces.
Ms Chaturvedi was one of the first three female fighter pilots to be inducted into the Indian air force.
