Purely by coïncidence I saw your Finnish MiG 21F in action during what was obviously a rehearsal for an airshow at Jyväskylä airbase in the summer of 1977, on my way back from a trip to the North Cape. I was the only spectator

on an otherwise rather empty airfield. At that moment it really was a sort of supersonic sportsplane, lightly loaded, smokeless, very agile, very fast and very impressive !!!!

 

Hou doe,

You was a lucky man, Derk! ok.gif

At this moment, the Mig-21 was still legendary for French planes fans...

 

 

Sure was !!! It looked like the pilots of the Finnish Air Force in those days took a special pleasure in some sporty flying around their home field , because a couple of days before I saw the MiG performing, there was some "fun flying " bij a Draken over and around it's Rovaniemi home base, further north. No airshow routine but a couple of fast low passes, some barrel rolls and and high G curves and a short landing. Probably a shake down flight after repairs or an inspection, but also impressive.....

 

Hou doe,
