MiG-21 MA (MF) in our “kitchen” (Kuchyna Air Base, Slovakia) Pt. III.


This is the third part of my MiG-21 walkaround documenting Slovak retired planes. The undercarriage details of  No. 1208 are all here. Please note: some of the colors may vary with different airplanes.

Here is the nose undercarriage seen from different angles:

And now the same (left) wheel well – but looking back:

There was the FOD cover placed on the right undercarriage well, so unfortunately there was no possibility to photograph its fuselage part. Please note the undercarriage details, the doors inner structure and the wing and fuselage details too:

      Ahoj Peter,
      vlastne fotky kokpitu zial nemam. Len z webu a kniziek – tieto veci nemozem pouzit na svoj blog. Skusim nieco zohnat od kamosov (ich vlastne fotky), ci by mi poskytli na blog. Uvidime, neslubujem.
