what are the markings on MiG-21? Russian or Polish or other?
from http://www.cavanaughflightmuseum.com/MiG21.htm
"The MiG-21 US Mongol B on display was built in Poland in 1970 and served with the Polish Air Force as an advanced trainer. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum purchased the plane in 1993, and it is now painted in North Vietnamese Air Force colors."
I didn't mention, this is the two seater version.

Wow! The trainer was used by the Japanese. Didn't know that, it certainly is ironic...
