'Out of the Blue' "Fulcrum" The Polish Air Force solo MiG-29.
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 fighter was a formidable foe when the aircraft, first flown in 1977, initially appeared. This tactical fighter, codenamed 'Fulcrum' by NATO, was rugged yet very agile, and would have been more than a match for its Western opponents in the latter years of the Cold War. The Polish Air Force solo MiG-29 comes from one of two squadrons - the 41st Tactical Squadron based at Malbork, or the 1st Tactical Squadron based at Mińsk Mazowiecki. Together, these units operate a total of 28 single-seat MiG-29As and eight two-seat MiG-29UBs.
