Desi debutant from the @IAF_MCC Heritage Flight — the restored HAL HT-2 finally made its public appearance. Superb demo, pity about the terrible weather conditions.

A photo speaks a 1000 words they say. Service Chiefs retire at 62, so did the MiG-21. She led admiring well and deserved that grand farewell. Copyrights: SANJAY SIMHA https://t.co/qqmHXcCI4q

#MiG21 Daily Pic: D minus 4 Dusk at Bikaner (Nal). A Type-96 from 108 Sqn knifes off the runway, afterburner painting the desert gold—while a 14 Sqn Jaguar flight watches, a little awestruck. 📷 Sanjay Simha #MiG21India #IAFHistory
#MiG21 Daily Pic: D minus 5 June 2017 — CU-2285 and CU-2328, MiG-21 Bisons of No. 51 Sqn, carving along snow-capped Himalayas. CU-2328 is the very jet Wg Cdr Abhinandan Varthaman flew in the engagement with an F-16 in 2019. 📷 Gp Capt Azam Ally #MiG21India #IAFHistory

Two legendary aircraft that many will have sweet memories about - Boeing 737-200 and MiG-21UM. In the MiG cockpit are test pilots, then Wg Cdr N Harish and Gp Capt RKS Bhadauria. Pic: SANJAY SIMHA https://t.co/qqmHXcCI4q

Incredible image by @Praneethfrank of a dual rack on Tejas with ASRAAM missiles. Left outbound pylon is a jammer. Big question - Can we get 2 Astra Mk2 into this config or does the dual rack foul that possibility?

Some piping-hot air-to-air missile action we couldn’t cram into the blog — but it’s too good to miss: 🔥 Python-5 on Tejas – @VelocityTTL 🚀 R-73 launch from Tejas – @VelocityTTL 💥 ASRAAM on Jaguar – Praneeth Franklin ⚔️ Astra on Su-30MKI – @VelocityTTL Shot by India’s finest
🚀 It’s out! @zone5aviation and I dive into 60+ years of the India–Pakistan air-to-air missile race—from Sidewinders and K-13s to Meteors and PL-15s. A tale of kills, radar locks -changing tech and Politics—sprinkled with stunning visuals. #IAFHistory
