One from the original batch of MiG-21F-13s (Type 74) supplied to IAF in 1963 was BC821. The aircraft suffered from problematic maintenance and the Indian crews received only very poor training in the USSR. The spirit of the 'First Supersonic' Indian pilots were nevertheless high and they were swift to call their MiGs 'Supersonic Sport-planes'.
