Director's Statement
Till now Indian Air Force has lost 110 pilots.Once upon a time MIG fighter jets were their best on time when they were included in IAF in 1963.But nowadays they are too old to take off properly but till now IAF is using same craft to train pilots as well as in combat which are already outdated.MIG planes are generally known in the word 'Flying Coffin'..This film is a tribute to all those pilots who had lost their lives for our nation, India.
