Mig-21 era has come to an abrupt end today

Post by dinovandoorn »

oh wow !!! I was very lucky to catch these Mig-21 fighter before the abrubt end as of today !!

The message below was at Reuters news agency today:
BUCHAREST, April 15 - NATO member Romania has grounded its remaining fleet of military MiG 21 LanceR jets as of Friday given their "considerably high accident rate", and will speed up a planned purchase of second-hand F-16s from Norway, the defence ministry said.

Sad news but inevitable because they're a little like I am - well past their best. We were fortunate here in Australia because, for a short time during the '80s, we had a privately-owned example doing the airshow circuit.

Thanks for sharing your excellent video. :thumbsup:
