The Indian Air Force is set to give a grand and emotional farewell to the legendary MiG-21 fighter jet at Chandigarh Air Force Station. For over 62 years, the MiG-21 has been India’s “sword in the sky” – dominating wars from 1965 to 1971, striking fear in Dhaka, and scripting history in 2019 when it downed a Pakistani F-16 after the Balakot strikes. From iconic flypasts and dogfight sequences to a majestic water cannon salute, the ceremony will honour not just a jet, but a legacy. Six former Air Chiefs, veterans, and families will witness the final handover of the MiG’s logbook to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, marking the end of an era in Indian air power.
