The end of the aircraft ....

The left wing of this aircraft was replaced by another one on 18.12.1990 (originally intended for MiG-27, delivered from the allied base Milovice), so it is in a different camouflage see photo. Unfortunately the identification number is not visible. In addition, the left entrance hole has been painted a different green colour on the outside (after a bird strike during a flyover for shooting at Malachi).


These details are given in the 1993 HEMA MiG-23BN publication. The photo is from my archive and was provided to the creators of the publication for publication.
