Aircraft Sculpture at Bijoy Sarani

If you live in Dhaka and have crossed the Bijoy Sarani intersection, you might have noticed the aircraft sculpture and wondered whether it is a real fighter or just a replica. Let me clear up your confusion: it is a real aircraft model. It is reportedly a Chinese-made Shenyang F-6 fighter aircraft bearing the number 632. It used to be a formidable fighter jet, but thanks to advancements in technology, it has now been reduced to just a sculpture. It is displayed on a raised concrete platform for public viewing. Close to this aircraft sculpture roundabout, you will find Novo Theatre, Bangladesh Military Museum, Chandrima Udyan, and Bangladesh Air Force Museum.
