As anyone who has even a passing acquaintance with me knows, I love aircraft. Always have. Matt and I used to devour the old Soviet Military Power journals the DOD used to put out. What many of you may NOT know is, as a child of the Cold War (I know, the younger readers are all, what's THAT??), I was interested in learning about Russian culture, as well. Enough so that I am fluent in Russian and minored in Russian history in addition to my Aviation minor. So, it should come as no surprise that I love Russian Military Aviation. And have spent some of the last few years photographing a bunch of different MiG types. Enjoy my Mikoyan-Gurevich Photoblog ;)
MiG-15bis Fagot at the National Museum of the USAF
MiG-15UTI Midget at Evergreen Air and Space Museum
MiG-15UTI Midget at the TICO airshow

The next version of MiG was the MiG-17. This Fresco is at the NMUSAF

The next Mig is probably the most plentiful on display in the United States, the MiG-21 Fishbed
This one is at the Strategic Air and Space Museum

This next one, you may have read about. This Mig-25RB Foxbat was buried by the Iraqis in the desert in Desert Storm. The USAF unearthed it at Taqaddum Airbase, Iraq on 29 February 2004, and is restoring it at the NMUSAF. This Mach 3+ interceptor was built to catch the AF's XB-70 that never went into production.
This is the ONLY MiG-25 on display in the USA.
Next up is the MiG-29 Fulcrum, which many experts say is better thn the F/A-18 and MUCH better than the F-16. This Fulcrum-A is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
Her sister ship, a Fulcrum-C, is on display at the Evergreen air and Space Museum. She looks good wet, no?
Hope you enjoyed the show. ;)
