Following German reunification, the MiG-29s of East Germany's 73rd Fighter Squadron, delivered just two years earlier, in 1988, were transferred to the West German air force. The agile fighter was a welcome participant in NATO exercises, acting as aggressors for air combat training. Before their retirement in 2003, aircraft 29+10 was painted with a special Color scheme, commemorating the numerous deployments to the United States.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
