Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I missed coming to Jodhpur (my hometown for nearly 14 years as my Dad was posted here) for the final stand down of the MiG-27s. But those superb closeups of these mean machines totally took me into nostalgia. Thanks for sharing

[@pranaysingh3617]

I remember Jodhpur AFS where my dad was posted in No. 10 Squadron. We used to see MiG 27s "Swing wingers" landing and taxing off the runway from the roof of our quarters in the cantonment. I loved the sound of these jets, the amazing sight. These jets and my dad inspired me to join the IAF. Sadly, both my dad and the MiG27 have retired. He also served with MiG 23 and Sukhoi 30 squadrons.

[@CyrusInIndia]

Hope the IAF has preserved a few of these Swing Wing Beauties In Air Worthy Condition. Couple of MiG 23,s and MiG 27,s should be maintained for future generations to see.

[@sajoymenon]

Anyone who says Mig 23/27 are junk is ignorant of the fact that they were faster with better climb rate than F16 A and F4 with which they competed and were essentially shoot and scoot planes. Plus their landing gear and amazing swing wings made them unique with STOL capabilities. Even Miraage 2000 had to be upgraded with Israeli radar to make them effective in Kargil. Fighter aircraft are only effective for the particular role they are meant for. Amazing birds, amazing video esp.. 4:24. Thanks a ton!

I read an article which said these were retired atleast 10 years earlier.
