Sad, always liked the racy look of that plane, long due end of an era.

Salute to the old soldiers. RIP.

Wow! That would be from the era of 1962 to around 1966 when Soviet Union transferred a few MIG19 and MIG-21 to PRoC.

Anyone knows why the USSR and PRC never develope a "straight wing" version of MiG-21 ...akin to the Canadian CF-100 and American F-104 / F-5 .

A very good condition J-7E/L fighter.
