MIG 21.......AT SCIENCE CENTRE GHY.

This  MIG-21  Iis displayed at the science centre,on our last visit one month back it was being assembled for the display. The MIG21(NATO reporting name" Fishbed") is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft,designed and built by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in Soviet Union.It is one of the most remarkable jet of the cold war and perhaps the most widely built since World War 2.
It is a single engined jet fighter aircraft.This combat jet was once widely used in Indian Air Force.Now ,for quite sometime it has been under cloud because its safety records has raised concern in Indian Parliament and media,following a series of crashes over the last many years.The recent one took place on 27.05.09.

    they are reffered to as the "flying coffins" by the servicemen in airforce. But they definitely were helpful in learning various escapades.

    Looks like you had a very informative outing. We have a large AF Museum about 20 miles from where we live. But it tires Abe and me out trying to walk around in the place. They seem to keep adding more and more to it.
