Re: MIG-21 goes down in Romania
I glanced at the Romanian press briefly yesterday because of the headlines; in one newspaper (don't remember which one) a witness stated that he heard that the engine stopped, the nose went up briefly then the nose went straight down. Make what you wish of it.
One of the pilots (the second shown in the news reports) had less than 1000 hrs total, 830 of which were on type. He was 40 years old. I don't remember seeing the details about the other pilot.

Re: MIG-21 goes down in Romania
Wow that's actually a fair bit of time on type. That would be quite a few yrs of flying in our military.

Re: MIG-21 goes down in Romania
Actually, to be quite frank, Romania has lost 24 migs in only 20 years. The numbers are even bigger. According to a friend of mine who's an ex-AME for the Romanian Military, the maintenance done there is top notch. May they rest in peace and hopefully be the last to die at the mercy of russian jets.
