Description

One of those photos I made, edited in GIMP, didn't like the results so I've put it in the "Trash" folder, then found again and decided to post after all.

A MiG-21 fighter jet standing in the Armament Museum, Poznan Citadel. It originaly belonged to the 10 Fighter Regiment in Łask; since said regiment was stationed near Kraków for almost 20 years, and its first patrons were "People's Partisans of the Land of Kraków", its emblem is the Wawel Dragon with a red rogatywka cap, colloquialy known as the "Kraków cap".

I intend to make a model of this plane one day, with the Red 4106 number, because 1. this was the first MiG-21 I've seen in person, and 2. Łask is the nearest air base to my home (ca. 70 km, an hour or so to reach it by train) and I've sometimes seen aircrafts flying from there, though never a MiG-21, they were retired in 2004; usually F-16s, but on two occasions I've seen A-10 Thunderbolts II flying for military exercises.
