On display at IAF Museum Palam with the emblem of No. 8 Sqn "Eight Pursoots." Inducted into the IAF in Apr 1963, the MiG-21F-13 or Type 74 equipped No. 28 Sqn "First Supersonics" under Wg Cdr Dilbagh Singh, followed by the PF and licence-built FL or Type 77 with R2L radar. The FL was used to good effect in the 1971 Indo-Pak War on both fronts. In the west, FLs from No. 47 Sqn "Black Archers" and No. 29 Sqn "Scorpions" shot down four PAF F-104s without loss, besting the Starfighter. The last FLs were retired in Dec 2013.
