Polish Air Force Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21 F-13 1217 (62975)
c/n 741217 was the first MiG-21 that was delivered to the Polish Air Force and the second Fishbed built for export. This is a first generation MiG-21 - four generations were built. This supersonic fighter was introduced in 1959. In some countries the jet is still in service. In total 11,496 aircraft were built which makes the MiG-21 the most-produced supersonic jet in history.
Its Tumanskiy R25-300 with afterburner makes it capable of flying at Mach 2.05, but with a range of just above 1,200km this was a short ride.
