In a letter to Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, Chief of the Air Staff, IAF, Bains wrote, “Together, we can create a living tribute to the MiG-21 and ignite the spirit of service and patriotism in our future generations.” He proposed five locations for the display of the retired MiG-21 fighter jets: Ludhiana, Amritsar, Ferozepur, Nangal and Kharar.
