The MiG-29 was developed in the 1970’s as a frontline air superiority fighter, entering Soviet Air Force service in 1982. This has been a very successful export aircraft, currently in service with 26 countries at this time. In 1997, the United States purchased 21 Moldovan MiG-29 aircraft for threat assessment purposes. Many of the airframes were scrapped with several ending up to museums like this example. HDR with a Nikon D7000 w/18-200 mm using Photomatix Pro and Aperture.
