Hate to break the Egptian party, but here’s a high-res picture of Romanian AF
MiG-17F and PF on Craiova AB, awainting the scrapper’s torch.
Picture taken on 26 March 1996
hello googler
can you post the the original,un-edited pic?
Of course
Photos of Lithuanian L-39ZA (#05 and 06) are pretty common on airliners.net, jetphotos.net, etc. But Lithuanian L-39C inherited from the former USSR are quite rare, I just found 02. Would anyone have serials 01 and 03?
Dan, excelent photos, but I believe that 201 and 404 are Libyan birds – before the introduction of the all-green roundel. Early Egyptian M5s didn’t have large numbers, and when they received them, they were arabic.
Please note that 201 and 404 don’t have the “Mirage 5…” writing under the cockpit – all LARAF Mirages lack that, including the F-1s. The black dot inside the intake roundel is small, not large as in the early Egyptian roundel
Later the Egyptian Mirages got rid of the large dot and received arabic numbers on the back fuselage, like in your last picture.
There is also this small antenna, to be found only on the Egyptian examples, but not on the Libyan ones:
^^^Looks like the bort numbers on the side of the intakes are erased. Nice find, anyway.
Saudi Mirage 5 SDE seen in France in 1975 – what happened to those birds? I heard that they were used very shortly, and than given to Egypt. Correct?
