MiG-21 most important crew member actually sits on the ground (Polish lang in att.)

[Shaman]

I have been waiting for this sim since, thanks to (rip) dad's service, I first climbed into first flight simulator in my life as a child, which was MiG-21 sim in Poznan-Krzesiny airbase back then as 62nd fighter regiment. The thing was enormous, filling entire building and not even remotely close to what DCS is today when it comes to rendering views. Compared to DCS today, that expensive training simulator for real pilots was in a stone age, however it allowed for full-cockpit experience and live online training between pilots and navigators.

 

I have still in my possession notebook from my father. Here are some pages for your preview (Polish). Notebook is quite thick, so I just cut corners here for not scanning the entire thing, also I do not know if there's interest in what it contains. I keep it due to sentiment, lots and lots of memories there. When I was 6-7 my dad was taking me on the tower to observe night exercises and more.. MiG-21 was first aircraft I have learn how to draw correctly and with details...

It's basically written all with pens and with few loose charts that since then fell off glue, with some empty gaps.

First half to middle of notebook is interceptions, second half is navigation. Some bit of work at the scanner ^^

It is just 0.99$ donation for my chips. How you later share among squad mates, I don't mind.

Anyone who takes it and still requires same material in higher dpi scans divided in 4 chapters, PM me.
