Polish Air Force, Poznan – Krzesiny AB, Poland, 1994
This aircraft is one of the few MiG-21PFMs flown
by Egyptian Air Force following the Six-Day War.
Prior to this Arab–Israeli conflict, total of 235
various MiG-21s were delivered to Egypt but only
about ten of them survived the war. The first
and surprising Israeli aerial attack on Egyptian
airbases on June 5, 1967, known as the Operation
Moked, cost Egyptians about 90 of their MiG-21s
itself. This aircraft was delivered to Egypt around
1970 and took part in the US
–
Egyptian military
exercise Bright Star in 1982.
This aircraft had been delivered to Poland on
April 5, 1968 and served with 34. Pułk Lotnictwa
Myśliwskiego (34th Fighter Air Regiment). This
profile depicts the 6910 how it looked during
the service with 62. PLM. The tail marking was
applied in connection with 40th anniversary
of the unit establishment (1954 – 1994). In 1995
the unit designation was changed to 3. PLM and
according to this the number 62 in the unit badge
on the A/C nose was replaced with the new one.
This PFM was armed with GP-9 gun pod and
Monsun rack for two R-3S missiles. The aircraft
was oversprayed with thin layer of aluminium
coat.
