Abhinandan Varthaman, Wing Commander: Profile, Wiki and Family
Abhinandan Varthaman is a Wing Commander of Indian Air Force. He is one of the most experienced and distinguished pilots of India known for his dexterity and love for MiG - 21. In fact, he had shot down F - 16, the 4th Generation Pakistani fighter plane with 2nd Generation MiG. This is the first of its kind incident in the history of aerial engagements. His jet was also shot down and he had to eject only to be found in the wrong side of the border.
Abhinandan is an experienced pilot. That's why he survived. He could have been killed. He was on MiG - 21 Bison - the coffin on Air. This jet is scheduled to be retired by the end of 2019. India desperately needs Rafale to handle this type of tricky confrontation in air. He was on Operational Readiness Platform when IAF sensed incoming 20 F - 16 fighter planes. Abhinandan immediately scrambled his MiG to chase F - 16 back. He shot down one F - 16 and also got hit by ground firing. That he shot down a 4th Generation US made F - 16 by 1962 MiG is something remarkable. It is like you are chasing a BMW with LML Vespa scooter.
