Shillong
HQ Eastern Air Command (HQ, EAC) was shifted to Shillong on 10 June 1963 from Kolkata and housed in the old buildings located at Nonglyer village in Upper Shillong, some 10 km (6.2 mi) from (Lower) Shillong, but at a greater altitude of around 1,800 metres (6,000 ft) AMSL. It was initially a British military base, but was taken over by the No. 58 Gorkha Regiment of the Indian Army post-independence in 1947. The Regiment was redeployed after the Sino-Indian War of 1962, making way for the IAF to step in. Helicopters can only operate from the HQ, EAC, using a 12.7-hectare (31-acre) helipad.
