FSX HUNAF Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21

HUNAF 5531 (textures only). Repaint of the MiG-21MF by Ivan Jurcaga. It is painted as MiG-21Bis "5531" from "Griff" Squadron of the 47 Fighter Regiment, Hungarian Air Force, based at Papa AB as it looked in 2000. 5531 did the last Mig-21 flight in the HuAF on 24 August 2000. Repaint by Jens-Ole Kjolberg. Master textures by Dag Roger Stangeland.

The Hungarian Air Force flew the Mig-21 for 40 years, retiring them in 2000. For the last years the remaining Mig-21Bis and UMs were based with the 47. Fighter Regiment/Wing at Papa AB.

Colonel Jozsef Lanecker made the last ever Hungarian Mig-21 flight on the 31 August 2000, flying his personal "Red 5531". The aircraft had the standard 47th wing decals with the large wing badge and numbers on the tail and the badge of the Griff squadron on the nose. The aircraft was also decorated with Laneckers name under the canopy and his colonel stars on the fuselage. As seen on most of Papa's 21 during the 1990's, there was also a Fortis watch ad just behind the tactical red code.

The base itself itself closed shortly after the 21's were retired, but it got a new lease of life as base for the NATO C-17 fleet in 2009. Most of the Migs are still at Papa, slowly rusting away.

Jozsef Lanecker sadly died in a JAK-52 crash in 2003.
