History
The oldest known available surviving map which shows Lohagaon as a prominent village near Pune in the Maratha Empire was drawn in the year 1793 by William Faden. Hence the original village of Lohagaon is believed to have existed from much before.
Sant Tukaram's mother hailed from Lohagaon, which makes it his maternal hometown. He frequently visited Lohagaon to deliver religious discourses, attracting many disciples from the village. In September 2024, the Maharashtra government approved a proposal to rename the Lohegaon Airport to Jagadguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj Pune International Airport to honour him, and due to this familial connection; and this proposal awaits final approval from the Central Government.
The Air Force base was established at Lohegaon to meet these objectives in 1939 as an RIAF base and since then it has been one of the premier air bases in the country. The first Indian Commanding Officer, Wg Cdr HS Ratnagar took over the base on 21 May 1947. All the aircraft on the inventory of Indian Air Force since Independence have taken to the skies from the Lohegaon Air Base. During 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pakistani Wars this base was utilised as a staging base for fighter and bomber operations.
