The MiG-21 is a tractor with delta wings compared to most modern fighters and more than a few older ones. They were cheap, easy to fly and were handed out like party favors during the cold war. They were part of the Russian philosophy of quantity over quality, which is great if you’ve mastered the science of cloning fully trained pilots. So far the only one who has is George Lucas.

Mig-21--a Vietnam War-era cocktail Fill a rocks glass with ice. Pour ingredients into the glass and stir well. Garnish with lemon twist.

The MiG-21 Is a Great Fighter Jet Still Flying After Decades

This is rich, coming from the crew who routinely trashes the F-35.

The last MiG-21 I saw in Vietnam wasn't flying very well at all and the smoke prob was a EPA violation!!!!
