Showing a bit of wear and tear but still quite a sight at Swarna Jayanti Park, Rohini, this BN might metamorphose into a nicer paint scheme with time, as the chipped paint reveals hints of camo brown and green underneath. The Flogger was inducted in No. 10 Sqn. "Winged Daggers", which operated the same from Jan. 1981 to Dec. 1993. Other IAF units to operate the type were No. 220 Sqn. "Desert Tigers", No. 31 Sqn. "Lions" and No. 221 Sqn. "Valiants", the last unit to phase out their BNs on 06 Mar 2009. BNs were flown in Op Safed Sagar to attack Pakistani positions during the 1999 Kargil War.
