In the 1990s, the Sky Hussars attended flight shows all over Europe. This MiG-21 with its yellow livery and the shark jaws painted on the fuselage and the auxiliary tanks stood out especially. Today, the airplane is on display at the Aviation Museum in Szolnok, Hungary.
Designed as a successor to the Soviet Union's family of early MiG jet fighters, the MiG-21 was first flown on February 14, 1955. This supersonic jet fighter was the first Soviet aircraft to successfully combine fighter and interceptor characteristics. Its delta wing design gave it the ability to climb quickly and its light loading further improved its performance, making it possible for a skilled pilot to successfully engage in dogfights with contemporary enemy fighters. Today, more than 50 years after its introduction, the MiG-21 still serves the air forces of many nations and has become the most-produced supersonic jet in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
