MIG-29 - The Mikoyan MiG-29 (Russian: Микоян МиГ-29; NATO reporting name: Fulcrum) is a twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union. Developed by the Mikoyan design bureau as an air superiority fighter during the 1970s, the MiG-29, along with the larger Sukhoi Su-27, was developed to counter new American fighters such as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The MiG-29 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1982.
MiG-29 Luftwaffe special paint - A special painted German Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 fighter (s/n 29+10) flown by German Luftwaffe (Air Force) pilot Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel) Tom Hahn, Squadron Commander of Jagdgeschwader 73 (JG 73) (73rd Fighter Wing) "Steinhoff", from Laage, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, over the Gulf of Mexico during a joint training exercise on 14 May 2003. The German MiGs were hosted by the 53rd Wing during various training missions. Unlike previous visits to the U.S. for training, this deployment provided German pilots the opportunity to fly live-fire missions against both full-scale QF-4 drones and sub-scale drones. This MiG boasts a particularly colorful paint scheme for their "Farewell USA" tour as the type was retired by the Luftwaffe.
