On display at the Luftwaffenmuseum. The MiG-23UB is powered by a R27F2M-300 turbojet. The trainer with aft-hinged canopy sections has full dual controls. The Del'ta-N missile guidance system antenna pod for the Kh-23 AGM is visible on the starboard wing. Later models could carry IR AAMs only. LSK received its first UBs in Apr 1978 with the last of eleven delivered in Aug 1985. This aircraft was delivered to LSK/LV on 27 Apr 1979. It wore the code 105 Black, serving with JG 9 "Heinrich Rau" before it was transferred to 2./JBG 37 "Klement Gottwald." It went to the museum on 18 Aug 1994.
