This MiG-21SMT is a bit of an enigma. A handful of MiG-21SMs were operated by the Azerbaijani air force and most likely, this SMT is not one of them. It appears to have been received from Uzbekistan.

25 years earlier, in 1991, I had seen this aircraft after it had just arrived for long-term storage at Polish AF base Mierzecice (see https://www.airhistory.net/photo/224316/5141). From there, it was shipped to Australia in 1992. It remained in storage in crates at Bankstown, NSW and was later shipped to New Zealand for display at the Transport and Toy museum. It still carries its former 62 PLM badge, but now has a strange tiger c/s which it never wore while active.

Here the aircraft is seen shortly after arrival. The centerline gun pod, that makes the MiG-21SPS-K a K-model, is still in place. Later this was removed.

True serial is 105. This is at a military barracks and '153' comes from the number of the resident army unit. Another difficult shot - got chased away by a guard who was insistent that no photos were taken.

A difficult capture. This MiG-21 is preserved just inside the gate at the ZTC complex near Zagreb airport, right by the gatehouse. The guard is very keen to ensure that no photos are taken!

About to depart on a practice for its performance in AIRVG24 at Zagreb next day, in what will be one of the Croatian MiG-21's final operational appearances now that replacement Rafales are starting to arrive. The commemorative '25' marks are carried on the left side only.
