Photo Comment

Still wearing the East German number "513" after reunification, this MIG-21MF was re-registered as "23+17" a few days after this slide was taken. It was seen as such at Manching the following year, refurbished and in good shape. Nevertheless, it was obviously not flown any longer and was probably broken up there; the airframe was noted at Oberjettenberg, being used for tests, in 1993.
