On July 12, 2005 after almost 44 years MiG-21s service with the Czechoslovak / Czech Air Force came to an end. Though this event was marked for the public with Open Day on May 21 the MiG-21s remained in QRA duty until July 1 and took off several times each day. On their way from Caslav to Prerov Air Base in Eastern Czech where they will be stored until a buyer is found they flew over the airfields of Plzen, Pardubice and Namest nad Oslavou to say good bye to their home country.
