On display at IAF Museum Shillong. Initially known as the Streak Shadow, the CFM Streak first flew in 1983. The IAF ordered 24 Streak Shadows in 1999 in the largest single order for microlights in the aviation industry. The tandem seat dual control microlight is powered by a Rotax 912-UL four-cylinder engine driving a three-bladed wooden propeller. It was used by the Adventure Cell, and to prevent bird hits at airfields.

Nose section on display at IAF Museum Shillong. The IAF was the main customer for the export version FL, and these formed the cutting edge during the 1971 Indo-Pak War, being used to good effect on both fronts. The Type 77 featured a complex SK ejection seat linked to the front-hinged canopy that acted as a blast shield. FLs were built at GAZ-21 and licence manufactured at HAL Nasik. This aircraft was decommissioned in 2006 after serving for 36 years.
