  1. Go fast zoom zoom Mig21. Years back was getting P51 Mutang fuel for my go kart t Hanscom Field, they had a Mig 21 parked up near by, got to go up and get a close look all around it. Seriously rugged jet, but the workmanship was not like he Phantom or Mustang parked beside it, screws sticking up, skin seams up into the wind stream, painted with a brush, looked like silver roof coating. The fuel Sargent mentioned some rich fellow bought it, and it was a very fast jet, went like the dickens was his words, pretty cool as a little kid getting to see one, but lordy it was rough on the outside, tiny cockpit on it.

  3. Romanian MiG 21 Lancer upgraded with Israeli avionics in the late 90s - That's a Matra Magic II missile
