- MiG -21 BIS CRASH
- 11.11 1992
- =====================
-
- Last wednesday a Sovjet-made MiG-21 from the Finnish Air Forse crashed a few
- miles outside Ekenas in southern Finland.The pilot,a 21 year old Luitennant,
- died in the crash because he failed to eject.
-
- Last year there was also a crash with the same kind of plane.The Finnish
- Air Force has been flying mig-21:s since the 60:s and it has lost 10 planes
- since that.Most of the pilots have managed to survive by using the ejection-
- seat.
-
- Finland has got an Air Force consisting of only 60 planes (about 30 Draken
- and 30 MiG:s).This means that almost 1/4 of all the MiG:s bought from the
- former Sovjet Union have been destroyed in crashes.
-
- I would like to know what kind of experienses other countries have had of
- the MiG-21 (F and BIS models).
