Seen here, devoid of her NVA-LSK marks, ‘473’, one of 52 Typ 94K SPS-Ks, with a GP-9 gun pod under the centre line, entered service with JG-1 at Cottbus-Nord in April 1968, before transfer to the Militärtechnische Schule at Bad Düben as GIA in 1971.
On display in the static at the 1996 Airshow Twenthe, it was a nice touch having this former GDR MiG-21 next to active fighters. She is currently listed as preserved in a museum at Lelystad.
Last flown with JG-2 at Neubrandenburg AB. Was one of 50 MiG-21SPS and SPS/K which were relocated to JG-7 at Drewitz AB in 1989 for destruction within arms reduction in Europe. 1994 to Museum near Cottbus AB and now restored at former Kamenz AB.
