This MiG-19PM was operated by the Chechoslovak Air Force from 1961 until 1972. During our visit to the country, shortly before it was separated into two countries, we saw this great aircraft in the museum at Kunovice airfield, where it later was restored. It looks much better now.

This Farmer-D flew with the Czechoslovak AF from February 1961 initially with the 5. stíhací letecký pluk (5th Fighter Air Regiment). It was decomissioned in October 1972 and sold as a ground instructional airframe to the VAAZ military academy at Brno - Slatina. The plane has now been part of the Letecké Muzeum Kunovice since 1990.
