Pictured during a squadron rotation with Jagdgeschwader 74 (JG 74) at Neuburg. This MiG-21MF blasts away from the Neuburg runway with its spectacular afterburner. The FISHBED was assigned to 4 ZTL 42 slt. The aircraft was delivered to the Czechoslovak AF on 17 Septembet 1975. It became a Czech aircraft in the 1993. The MF was converted to MFN in 2000 and retired in late 2005. The aircraft was scrapped soon after, except the nose section. That part went to Letnany museum in 2020.
