On display at IAF Museum Palam. The HPT-32 first flew on 6 Jan 1977. Intended as a replacement for the HT-2 basic trainer, the HPT-32 had a record of accidents due to engine cuts leading to a number of fatalities, which led the IAF to ground the aircraft in 2009. It was simple to fly but difficult to master, with stall turns and barrel rolls being tricky.

On display at Government Museum Jaisalmer. Designed by Dr. Kurt Tank, the Marut prototype flew on 17 June 1961 as India's first indigenous jet fighter. It was fitted with a pair of RR Orpheus 703 engines but they were underpowered for the aircraft. The upper 30-mm Aden gun ports are faired over. Inducted in the IAF in April 1967, these aircraft equipped No. 10 Sqn "Winged Daggers," No. 220 Sqn "Desert Tigers" and No. 31 Sqn "Lions." The Marut was used in the recce and ground attack role in the 1971 war, shooting down a PAF F-86 in the west. The type was phased out in 1983.

First inducted into the IAF in April 1963, the MiG-21F-13 or Type 74 equipped No. 28 Sqn "First Supersonics" under Wg Cdr Dilbagh Singh. This was followed by the PF and finally the FL or Type 77, which was licence manufactured by HAL. 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, clearly besting the Starfighter. The last IAF FLs were decommissioned in Dec. 2013.
