Even at small airports, you can find interesting planes and aviation history. But the MiG-23 taxiing on a small Finnish airfield was a somewhat unexpected sight. Brought to Finland (by sea) from the former Soviet base in Estonia in 1992. Has been stored in Malmi (EFHF) and Tampere (EFTP). 2019 moved to Menkijärvi (EFME). The owner has installed a diesel engine on the plane and built the possibility for the plane to move independently in the field.
