The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum has this MiG-21 on the flight deck.  Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, considered the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history. First flown in 1955, the MiG-21 was the first Soviet plane to reach Mach 2 and was in production from 1959 to 1985. The first MiG-21s were delivered to North Vietnam directly from the Soviet Union in April 1966. Though wearing NVAF colors, this Fishbed actually came from the Polish Air Force.  Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
