A fact from Gunjan Saxena appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 August 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I was lucky and blessed to have so many firsts to my name in my years with the IAF. To list a few -- first in the order of merit during my basic training and also in helicopter training, the first woman to fly in a combat zone (mentioned in the Limca Book of Records), the first 'BG' (a coveted flying category) among women helicopter pilots and the first woman officer to undergo the jungle and snow survival course. There are other small achievements, but those are not of much significance to my story right now. - Gunjan Saxena
