MIG-21

The MiG-21 Fishbed PFM is a short-range day fighter-interceptor and a
major production version of the popular MiG-21 series. It is but
one of many versions of this aircraft that have served in the air arms
of many nations around the world. The E-5 prototype of the MiG-21 was
first flown in 1955 and made its first public appearance during the
Soviet Aviation Day display at Moscow's Tushino Airport in June 1956.

During the Vietnam War, MiG-21s were often used against U.S. aircraft.
Between April 26, 1965, and January 8, 1973, USAF F-4s and B-52s downed
68 MiG-21s.

More than 30 countries of the world--including nations friendly to the
U.S.--have flown the MiG-21. At least 15 versions of the MiG-21 have
been produced, some outside the Soviet Union. Estimates place the
number built at more than 8,000, a production total exceeding that of
any other modern jet aircraft. This particular on is on display in Largo Florida USA at The Armed Forces Military Museum
