Hungarian Air Force - a sadness story
These airplanes brought to a halt in Hungary the Pápa AFB, in a private property. The Hungarian military one passed it over on an illegal road leadership for a Ukrainian metal dealer, who destroys them soon. (Understand it: all were stolen from Hungaria AF.) I wish to claim a memory with these few photos the 67 pieces MiG-21, 5 pieces Su-22 and 3 pieces MiG-23, for the bygone Hungarian Airforce.

How sad if all these aircraft are being destroyed for scrap metal. Wish we had them over here in our avaition museums.

Some machinery has already resolved the fate, the fate of the others is uncertain. I've not sure the cutting is no longer worth it. Around $ 70,000 and 100,000 for sale to anyone at any price.

1991.09.12. Kecskemet AFB the departure of Major Sandor Horvath, the first air show on Taszár exercise program for the 9605 tactical numbered fighter. The flight back during practice (some sources mention spool) flaps gave (or out forgotten), which makes the machine has undergone little height and crashed at the end of the runway.
The pilot died.
On September 25 he was buried in Szarvas.
The made photo 1988. before.

Re: Hungarian Air Force - a sadness story
A few MiG-21's seen with the old stars @ Kecskemet (MF/UM) and Taszar (Bis) in the summer of 1990
So sad these days are long gone and so sad the old aircraft are treated that way...
