ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Bulgarian MiG-21 last flight

Post by me4o_puhh »

Well it seems I will be the messenger.
On 18 December bulgarian MiG-21 made their last planed flight after 52 years in service. he twin seater and two single seater made their last task over Bulgaria. A very sad day. Ceremony was small but very emotional, but at least MiG-21 get one,unlike MiG-23 and Su-22. Here some pictures from Graf Ignatievo. The event was closed for most media representitive, only few photographers and military media was there.

MiG-29 make small "airshow", and 392 was coverd by signatures of many pilots, some of them whit 2500-300 hours on type.
Airplanes will stay operational, but will not fly.
Reagrds.
