+guyran Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 The old Mig-21 is still flying in the 21 century. Amazing. Mig 21 Quote
+Brain32 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Many Fishbeds still fly but are at the end of their resources... Quote
+starfighter2 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Every 5 years or so our AF says that resource for Fishbeds are near ending. And we still have 30 operational BiS kites, so go figure. Maybe then can go on forever? Hehe Quote

+guyran Posted June 22, 2012 Author Posted June 22, 2012 The Mig-21 may be the most successive fighter ever in terms of long service, like the AK-47. Quote
+Dave Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 The Mig-21 may be the most successive fighter ever in terms of long service, like the AK-47. Also one of the most shot down too... Quote
+Brain32 Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Well it kinda comes with longevity, it's a 1950's design flying all this time... Quote
JediMaster Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Plus many of the nations flying them never put much resources into training. I doubt they'd have survived more often even in better planes. Quote
