Photo Comment

MiG-21MFR was the Bulgarian designation for the MiG-21MF that had been modified to carry reconnaissance pods after retirement of the MiG-21F-13R. The first flight of this Fishbed-J was in November 1993 and served at the, now closed, Dobrich air base. It made its last flight in November 1998 and has been on display at the museum since 2004.
