Mig 21 en Su20 in het Airforce Museum

Post by Polleke_NL »

Weet iemand toevallig welke Mig 21 en Su 20 er staan voor het Airforce Museum of Egypt in Cairo?
Ik kwam een oude foto tegen waar deze 2 zij aan zij langs de weg staan opgesteld, de nummers zijn helaas niet te lezen (voor zover deze al authentiek zijn)

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but there is a military museum in Caïro with a small display of mil a/c. You will find it at the Citadel.
Here is what I saw on 23 July 2010:

Seen at the Cairo Citadel, military museum, on 23 July 2010 were:
MiG.21F13 (Fishbed-C) 5908
Su.7B (Fitter-A) 7320
MiG.17F (Fresco-A) 2481
Yak.18A (Max) 621
Trener Z.526 uk
PZL.104 (Wilga 35A) 254 (SU-AVE?)

I'm not 100% sure about the serials, but this is what I could find. The Sukhoi could be Su.7 though, instead of a Su.20. But I'm far from expert on EAF history and Sovjet a/c types.
Hope this helps...

Grtz,
Lucien

The aircraft I refer to are/were located outside the museum, which doesn't appear to have been the Citadel. They were easily visible from the outside as I took my picture from a driving taxi. From what I understand from other sites and forums, the Su7 is actually a Su20 but no serials mentioned but I don't know how to verify that as I also am no expert on Soviet aircraft types.....

Do you mean the museum along the road to the airport?
In that case: October war panorama museum
MiG-21PFS 8040
Su-20 7771

That's the one Witje, thanks for helping me out!! (It's been like 23 years or more since I took that pictures so I couldn't recall the name, I did know it was along the road to the airport though)
