MiG 25
Nicknamed the Garuda, India finally retires the MiG 25s, and the remaining planes will be phased out by May 1st.

“It was a darned good machine but even today we are not permitted to speak of the daredevilry these stratospheric planes have been used for,”
- an unnamed MiG 25 pilot was quoted by news agency AFP.
