    Does anyone know the story of that Colt on Gotland? It’s just north of Visby at an old airport. Does it say Aeroflot? I think it might be the one that defected from one of the Baltic States in the ’50, I know it landed in Gotland. Any other info from Swedish members? I wish i had gotten to go to some of the airshows when i lived in Sweden, but wasnt there during the summer!

    I have a picture of a Lansen i took in Gotland, along with an interesting AN-2 Colt. Maybe the one that defected there? Also have a rather worse for wear Swedish Centurion tank pic, went on behind my car on the ferry back to Nynyshamm 😮

    I have heard yet another story, that the MiG-29 shot down a -23 then flew into the ground. Not sure which is true, but i need to find a source for this so i can credit it. Otherwise I could have problems during my defense.

    BTW This chapter is about MiG-29 combat victories (or rather the lack thereof) I’m looking at the downing of the Serbian -29’s, Gulf War I and Eritrea and Ethipoia. And I’ll mention the Cuban kills, though i dont think they lend well to my thesis! Any other info i may not have would be great. Thanks!

    The only thing i could find on ACIG was the of the table of US victories and an article concerning Kuwati Air Force operations during the invasion. I read a great article somewhere that, in detail, describes a majority of the kills i.e. When the MiG-29 shot his wingman down and then flew into the ground.

    I’ll go through the Gulf War Debreifing Book, surely there is some good stuff in there!
    Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

    The other air force that used it in WWII was Finland. Though the Finns fought with the Germans (and later against) the blue swastika has nothing to do with Nazism. The first aircraft the Finnish Air Force received was given by the Swedish Count von Rosen whose family’s good luck symbol was a blue swastika and was applied from 1919-1945.
