MiG-21 Full Display RIAT 2019

Recorded as part of the official ive broadcast and DVD / Blu-ray production this is the full, awesome, Romanian Air Force MiG-21 Display from Royal International Air Tattoo 2019.

I'm stunned he did half his display at almost full thrust and with his u/c down. She may be old but she's still an elegant bird.

[forcexjr]

Only the most experienced pilots are deemed worthy enough to ride this warbird. Absolutely breathtaking display.

[walhalla]

One of the best displays by a Mig 21 I've seen so far. Good job Gica!

[mattm]

Just come out of the showground. I'm stoked to have seen this, I've been waiting to see it for what feels like an eternity

[jumanji-csky]

I was there and I was surprised that was one of the best performance this day

[energiam]

Love the sound processing on these videos. I find most airshow recordings intolerable. Jet acoustics can be very harsh on the ears. But your videos make them comfortable without failing to capture the sheer power of jet thrust!

[TheKitsuneHina]

Mmmm my all time favorite aircraft, one of the best and most elegant fighter jets made in human history

[CyrusInIndia]

Apart from Russia, no other country other than India has invested so much in the MiG 21 and perhaps the entire MIG Family post MIG 21.
Inducted in the IAF in 1961 India built close to 900 MiG 21, s of atleast 7-8 different variants under a licence agreement.
The most advanced version of the MiG 21 the MiG 21 Bison will finally be going into the sunset in the year 2025. The Bison version of the MiG 21 were derived from the upgraded MiG 21 BIS and were inducted between 1995 to 2002.
All MiG 21, s will decommissioned by end of 2025 or early 2026.
Indian Air Force has already decommissioned the MiG 25, MiG 23 & MiG 27 in 2006, 2009 & 2019 respectively, way before the MiG 21.
Only the upgraded MiG 29 UPG now remains of the MiG series with the Indian Air Force and the MiG 29K for the Navy and they will probably remain in service till 2035.

There's just something about this plane that's keeps me drowned in its beauty

[jackjones]

Brilliant display - I was there on Saturday - This is Sunday not as much dark cloud on sat also a few different maneuvers - such as a Roll on pull up after take off not seen in this vid .

[Stefanivan]

Awesome ! Congrats Gica! Super...super...

[CrisURace]

Romanian LanceR pilots, best pilots out there on this aircraft. (imo)

[petermcgarrymusicandflying]

Fricking classic. Just finished a model of it.

[garycard]

And yet, not one English Electric Lightning of near-airworthy condition would be allowed to fly here in the UK. What an embarrassment.

[bobsurgranny]

Nifty bugger. Wonder if we'll ever see the Lightning at RIAT ever again

[LincolnshireRailMonkey]

That thunderous touch and go will stay with me for a time, show highlight for me that year was the MiG-21

[vladkleyv]

Маневренность просто фантастическая! Лётчик-Профессионал с большой буквы! Вообще по маневренности мне понравились Миг-21, Миг-29, Гриппен и пожалуй всё.... Вообщем-Миг-21 самолёт легенда! Очень классно!

[cliffwhite]

Interesting how the pilot seems to have to fight roll-coupling and directional stability at times. His mental and physical workload must be enormous compared to the pilots flying the Typhoon, F16 and F18.

[knightflightvideo]

I was there too. One of my fav flight displays beside the Su-27 and EAV-8B Harrier. Great video!

[Aquavidify]

There are 2 MIGs at the Finnish Air-Force museum in Jyvaskyla, you can sit in the cockpit which I did, then had to see one flying! Thanks for the upload
