MiG-21

Beautiful plane. Video shows inside and outside of it and very good quality.

Amendment: Video was shot in Czech Republic (with a c!) Please enjoy this video, keep the country-bashing, and political bashing to a minimum. :) this is a wonderful video about a plane that is very old and loved by many. If you stumbled across this when looking for Raptor's or Hornet's or whatever american plane you prefer PLEASE check your spelling in the search engine and don't take out your aggressions here. Thank you! :)

so is this thing comparable to the F-4 ?

[HerrHIVEMIND]

@sedmoagalnikful The MiG-23 is comparable to an F-4 this is more comparable to an F-100 Super Sabre, in my opinion.

[penguinskywalker]

@HerrHIVEMIND Actually, the aircraft that equaled the flight capabilities and design philosophy of the MiG-21 were the F-8 Crusader and the F-5 Tiger.

[HerrHIVEMIND]

@penguinskywalker I figured the SU-17 more comparable to the F-8 but youre right about the F-104 and the MiG-21 as far as speed and climb. I only figured the F-100 because of the manueverability. But the F5 has that covered. Interesting. It takes at least 2 aircraft of the time in the western inventory to compare to such a single, and wonderful, soviet fighter. I love MiG's. :D

@HerrHIVEMIND Mig21 is far better than f4.Vietnam war shows it.As well as Romanian upgraded versions of mig21 now.

Did i see that correctly? Were they ground firing the cannon with the plane on jacks? Recoil shook the plane pretty good. You would think you could just pull a breaker or bypass a squat switch to put the plane in "air" mode. Either way, the Mig21 is a good looking old bird,  I've always loved the Russian cockpit colors. Great video and thanks for not covering up the jet noise with music.
