The Mighty Mig-21 of the Romanian Air Force! Greetings From Romania!

I have seen a few MiG-21s here and there, and was surprised at how small they are. A pure fighter ! The Romanians know how to fly them !

As an American, I've always loved airshows and military aviation. There was always something about the Mig-21 that made it one of my favorites. The lines are perfect. Both beautiful and feral. When I lived in Houston there was a group that owned a Mig-21 that would bring it to the "Wings Over Houston" Airshow at Ellington Airfield. I always went to check it out. It looks even better in person. Don't pass up a chance to see it close up.

Truly one of the best fighter interceptor ever made. Agile , rugged a nightmare in the right hands. Some air forces in an attempt to cut there budgets are having their fishbed upgraded by Israel's aviation industry. Oh boy.

[@Fenncer24]

You are very right about the Mig-21 Fishbed being a very stern foe in the right hands. Has shot down more planes than the F-15 Eagle or F-16 Falcon, but migflug.com combat record 250 kills for 501 lost. But an Indian Mig-21 Fishbed has downed a Pakastani F-16A Falcon, though Pakastan and United States denie this every happened. Got to hide the truth when your 8 Million dollar plane is toasted by a 1 million dollar 50 year designed plane. We don't like that so we denie this every time it favors someone else.

Die MiG 21 Lancer aus Rumänien war nach 2001 in Cottesmore 18 Jahre später wieder im Flugprogramm zu sehen, Was ich mich öfters frage warum heißen die in Rumänien Lancer und warum wurden die in den anderen Ländern Fishbed genannt. Die MiG 21 Lancer hat eine Graue Oberseite die Unterseite ist blau, Trotzdem Farbenfroh in Cottesmore 2001 war sie in einem Grünen Tarnanstrich zu sehen. Tolle Aufnahme übrigens 👍

[@knightflightvideo]

Danke für das Lob, Patrick! 'Fishbed' ist der Nato Code Name für die einsitzige MiG-21. Die doppelsitzige Trainervariante wird 'Mongol' genannt. Als 'Lancer' wird die modernisierte Version der Rumänen bezeichnet. In Indien heißen die MiG-21 übrigens 'Bison'. Eine davon soll ja am 27.02.2019 eine pakistanische F-16 abgeschossen haben. Die MiG-21 wird auch noch in China als Chengdu J-7 (in der Exportausführung F-7) gebaut, und fliegt auch noch in einigen anderen Ländern. Darunter in Kroatien, wo sie aber leider demnächst durch gebrauchte F-16 aus Israel ersetzt werden soll.

[@patrickthape4650]

@@knightflightvideo Danke! Das es soviele Code Bezeichnungen für die MiG 21 gibt höre ich zum ersten mal. Damals bei der Nationalen Volksarmee waren die doch auch im Einsatz gewesen, Wäre es zu DDR Zeiten möglich gewesen dort so einfach hinzukommen hätte ich sie mir gerne mit meinem Vater angeschaut. Aber ich konnte ja bis 2004 die MiG 29 Fulcrum in Laage sehen.

[@knightflightvideo]

Zu DDR Zeiten gab es keine Airshows im herkömmlichen Sinn. Wenn dann mal einen Tag der offenen Tür mit Flugbetrieb, oder ähnliches. Und filmen oder fotografieren militärischer Objekte wie Flugplätze war damals strengstens verboten. Änderte sich erst Ende der 80er, in den Wende-Jahren, als die NVA und Russen ihre Flugplätze für das 'einfache' Volk öffneten. Im Jahr 2000 habe ich noch ungarische MiG-21 in Zeltweg auf der Airpower filmen können. Bis 2005 stand die MiG-21 auch noch in Tschechien im Dienst. Habe sie aber trotz drei Besuchen des CIAF in Hradec-Kralove und Brünn zwischen 2000 und 2005 dort leider nie fliegen sehen.
