C1111 of the No. 29 Sqn seen shortly after the Bangladesh War, in early 1972, still showing the strains from the heavy use. The MiG-21FL proved an excellent dogfighter but also a very good interceptor during that war, even if the pilots heavily criticized the poor performances of the R-13 (AA-2 Atoll) air-to-air missile. The C1111 displays also the commemorative markings for a number of strike sorties flown, and three PAF Sabres shot down by the unit during that war.
