This one caught me by surprise, a withdrawn from use MIG-29 at the home of the American Fighter Pilot. It is one of 21 bought by the USAF from the Republic of Moldova in 2002 (ex 16 white, still carried on the fin tip), to keep them out of hands from potential enemies. They were shipped to Wright-Patterson AFB and this one ended up on display at Nellis AFB. This photo is copyright © Gerhard Plomitzer, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
