Seen operating flight LK246 from Vientiane in hybrid Lao Skyway colours, this is the third production MA-600, supplied to the Lao People's Liberation Army Air Force and later operated by the Laos Government. It joined the two MA-60s of Lao Skyway in 2019, retaining the basic colours of the LPLAAF

There are many aircraft marked '01', especially MiGs. And also, some would argue that there is not much aircraft left of this Laotian PFM. But, anyway, I was happy to encounter it on my trails!

Seen after it departed from the airport, although the photo is very cropped as I was standing nearly 2 kilometres from the runway...

When I was visiting the Plain of Jars site 1, I took this long-distance shot of some dumped MiG-21s. During a visit to the actual air base a couple of years later by another enthusiast, the c/n was partly read off.

Bumpy landing but at least it provided an air side view of seven of the stored MiG-21s!

It was derelict west of the international airport in a beer garden, together with RDPL-34127. That one is still there but 119 moved a couple of years ago to another place.

The Laotian air force received two MiG-21US, 09 and 10. Later, the surviving MiGs received a '7' in front of the serial and I presume this 710 is the former 10.

After operations with the MiG-21 ceased, they were parked on the ramp here, and a handful at Vientiane/Wattay. Gradually, they have found their way elsewhere to be preserved although six remain on the ramp in 2024.

During a short stop in Laos I only had time for a night visit to the Army museum, that was obviously closed. Nowadays, they have sun sheds to shelter the exhibits.
