Between the Croatian Migs

[Coldwater]

Among the Air Force in Eastern Europe I visited, the HSN or the Croatian Air Force and 'was one of the more' "toughest" in the sense that my visit in 1994 to 4 bases was a period just does not quiet in the former Yugoslavia and during a truce between the fighting to the Croats and Serbs. Also difficult because I was subjected to very strict restrictions , but in the end I was "awarded" with a flight on the MiG-21 UM for an encounter with a MiG 21 Bis returning from a mission.

And yet another pleasant surprise!

Keep 'em coming!

It is rather rainy in Northwestern Europe the next few days, so I suspect many "military aircraft loving people" will not be sitting outside in the garden/on the balcony/before the local cafe/pub/restaurant, but "high and dry" behind a computer...
And what better way to spend one's time than to peruse through some rather seldom-seen pictures ?

PS.
as I said the slides were scanned by two different scanners, and some are not perfect

Oh yes Roel but at that time everything was fine for flying and no one looked at the corrosion !!!!!!!

a clarification: OSVETNIK VUCOVARA and DUBROVNIKA is : Remember of VUKOVAR and DOBROVNIK the two cities martyrs in theYugoslavia war
