Indian AF MiG-21 Bisons

Post by lazyweasel »

Last year while in India to photograph the Jaguars I also had the opportunity to shoot some MiG-21 Bisons. The article can be seen in the latest issue of Combat Aircraft

:drool: Brilliant stuff, great to see some exotic a/c thanks for posting.

Daniel I think the Jaguar pics were posted tail end of last year, might not have been the same poster though.

Séan's photos and Liam's (MAD) photos were both posted last year.

Another cracking set Dr. Wilson! They looks really grubby which is rather nice, making me look forward to seeing the Romanian's at RIAT 2010, ain't seen a '21 since Lossie in 2005!

Lovely set of pics - the last one with the chute is ace! :cool:

The Jags were featured in POTW - flick through the archives and that will link you to them.
