Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum-A | | 9.5" | | 6.25" |
With the imminent arrival of the Eurofighter the German Air Force sold 22 of their 23 MiG-29s to Poland for a symbolic price of 1 euro per item. The 23rd MiG-29 29+03 (cn 2960525110/3414) that was originally delivered to the East German Air Force JG 3 as # 615 located at Preschen on February 29, 1988 was withdrawn from service in July 2002 and sent to the Luftwaffenmuseum located at the Berlin-Gatow Airfield. The aircraft wears the paint scheme from 2002 and has theJG 73 emblem on the tail. Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
