This Fagot was taken on charge with the Sily Powietrzne Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej (Polish AF) in 1956. In March 1987 it was sold privately in the USA and registered N621BM and arrived at Air Zoo for display in July 1996.

I saw a super You Tube video about this plane last night and remembered that I had seen one at Air Zoo, the only survivor of the three prototypes produced. The plane flew well at high-speed but poorly at low speed, resulting in crashes of the other two prototypes. Development took too long so that fighters in service towards the end of WWII were already better and it was completely killed off by the jet engine.

This Fishbed-F was the most numerous of the MiG-21 types operated by the Polish AF. This example now spends its retirement at Air Zoo in Kalamazoo.

This Buchon was one of 23 tendered by the Spanish Air Force in 1966 and bought for the "Battle of Britain" movie released in 1969. C.4K-100 became Luftwaffe red 13 for the movie and was among the 21 aircraft transferred to Wilson "Connie" Edwards as payment for flying and work as aerial coordinator. As N90605 the landing gear collapsed in a ground loop incident in 1975 and it was later sold as a non-flyable museum exhibit to the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum. Registered until 2014 as N76GE, it has been re-painted as C.4K-19
