Photo Comment

This MiG-21 was delivered to the National Volks Armee in Aug'69 and was eventually transferred to the Luftwaffe on 3 Oct'90 as 22+84. It was withdrawn from use at Rothenburg in July 1991 and then moved for preservation at Volkmarsen in Jan'97. The MiG was then seen in Bremen with Skeikh Automobilen in 1999 and in Bünde in front of a beverage store in a ugly glosse blue colorscheme with Pepsi stickers from Apr'05. The MiG was again moved, this time to Nörvenich where the Top Getränkemarkt preserved it from Jun'08. It was last seen preserved in Zehdenick from Sep'12 as serial 579.
