After serving as India's aerial shield for nearly six decades, the iconic MiG-21 fighter jet is set to bid farewell to the skies on Friday in Chandigarh. The Indian Air Force (IAF) has planned a grand send-off, with full-dress rehearsals already conducted on Wednesday (September 24). During the practice, MiG-21s flew in formation alongside Jaguars and the Surya Kiran Aerobatic Team, while the Akash Ganga skydivers stunned the audience by leaping from a height of nearly 4,000 feet.
