my answer was meant as ironically as yours, they rejected a lot of my pictures and accepted some in the same time, and I still do not master really acceptance criterias.

But remember the post subject is “some restauration works……..

I hope strongly next refurbished Siebel will FLY

So, lets try to sort and to be as accurate as possible, avoiding to just cut and paste any sentences we could find here and there.

MiG 21 US was built in the factory N°700 in Nijni Novgorod in 1969 under serial number N°02685141
It serves then in Czech Air Force under mark number 0241
Decomissioned in 1993, affected to Czech Forces Historic Institute, a separate organisation leaded by Defence Ministery. Was at this point rent to VZLU (a state organisation leaded by Industry Ministery) as OK-004, and mainly used as chase plane for an other very famous aeroplane, MiG 21 U OK-016, a specially modified aircraft performing ejection seat tests, (for L-29 program) purpose being footage operation side by side during ejection sequences.
Trade to me in 1999 (for ex FAF and ex Texas ANG T-bird)
Registered by French state as F-ZAGR in 2001.
State contract with on purpose created compagny for EPNER operations, (EPNER is a test pilot french school using CEV logistic, military organisation as well as chain command).
Aircraft qualified “good to fly” but contract terminated due to policy change.
Sold in United State of America and exported in 2003.
Thats all folks.

“France – Air Force
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21US

F-ZAGR Used by the french EPNER (Fighter and Test Pilot Training School), now preserved. Static display during a meeting. The only Mig21 registered in France. First time on a.net. Now returned to the Czech Air Force.”

I am very sorry to tell you that in such a straight way, but this is just not exact.

You’ll need to expand on that… and welcome aboard.

Thanks for warm welcome, it does heat my heart, and nothing more than the fact i am happy every time I see my aircraft, I had great fun in the story you know. Thats why I am glad to supply a, let say, normal quality picture.
During open days, May 2001, FAFB 125.
