Just before returning to Russia, Wittstock held an open house. All remaining 25 MiG 29's stood on the flightline, ready for the departure. On 7 April they first flew to Damgarten and from there on they flew to Sernograd, Russia on 11 April.

Another interesting feature was the absence of fences at several Russian bases in East Germany like at Sperenberg where platforms could be reached without hindereance (besides the occasional armed guards) ...
Not my best picture but can you imagine seeing the first Russian MiG landing after growing up during the Cold War on the West side of the Iron Curtain ... GOOSE BUMPS !!!
