The Boeing 737-200 proves that age is just a number, with various models continuing to serve in India, Latin America, Indonesia, and Canada due to their incredible reliability and versatility. From military operations to remote landings, the enduring “Baby Boeing” remains a trusted asset.
The Indian Air Force has officially retired its MiG-21 Bison fighter jets, concluding a significant chapter after 62 years of service. With its retirement on September 26, 2025, the IAF reflects on the MiG-21’s pivotal role in advancing India’s aerial defense. The focus now shifts to modernizing the fleet with advanced fighters such as the MiG-29 and the indigenous Tejas jets.
India has finalized a record Rs 66,500 crore contract to acquire 97 Tejas fighter jets, marking the nation’s largest-ever defense aviation deal. This enhances India’s defense self-reliance and boosts the Indian Air Force’s operational capability with advanced technology. HAL will oversee manufacturing and delivery, supporting India’s indigenous aircraft development and regional security preparedness.
