Photo Comment

In spring 2016, this MiG-25RBS was delivered from Helsinki to Tallinn by ferry, and from there оn 6 May by 2 trailers to Tartu (Estonia). The FOXBAT once served in the Soviet Union from East Germany (931 GvORAP). It was then sold and transferred to the Riga Higher Military Aviation Flight School (Latvia). In 1996, it was sold to a Finnish aviation enthusiast mr. Oja at Tampere, who spent a lot of work for its preservation for some twenty years (as pictured). The aircraft carried bort number 25 red later on. He sold eventually the aircraft to the Aviation museum in Tartu (Estonia).
