mvsgas Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Awesome. Do we know more info on the video? What version Mig-21? What air base/airport was the video from? Was that a KC-135? To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Sporg Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Looks like it is a Romanian Mig-21: Edited August 4, 2017 by Sporg System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use
mattebubben Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Yea they are Romanian Mig-21 Lancers. either lancer A or lancer C. I cant say which from the video. Edited October 2, 2016 by mattebubben
Sporg Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) Just for fun I compared his flight with Google maps: Characteristic city pattern (triangular shape): Airport approach: Comparing with Google maps, it looks like after the break he turns east towards the coast and the city Constanta. Then he continues the turn north over Valu lui Traian (triangle feature) and then lands at the Mihail Kogalniceanu airport: Overview: (Valu lui Traian at the bottom, Mihail Kogalniceanu airport at the top) Mihail Kogalniceanu airport: :) Edited August 4, 2017 by Sporg Had to remove Photobucket's begging for money.. :( 1 System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use
Art-J Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Damn, I have yet to perform such a smooth two-point touchdown with our MiG :D. 1 i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Sporg Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Yea they are Romanian Mig-21 Lancers. either lancer A or lancer C. Cant say which from the video. From this page it seems it must be Lancer Cs: http://www.ridder.aero/blog/lancer-dawn-romanias-last-mig-21s/ It says that it is only the C version that is wearing the grey and white pattern, while the As and Bs have the green/brown pattern.

Schmidtfire Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 That engine sounds very familiar. Great job Leatherneck.
humptydumpty Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Great video. tried to land without the nose bouncing though it was there but just a little. I really find the Mig21 great to fly now , not sure if any changes have been made recently or was is that I flew her after a long time.

MiG21bisFishbedL Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 He greased that landing. Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!
