Yesterday, while waiting for my flight at Hanoi Noi Bai airport, I was entertained by at least six VNAF Mig 21s taking off and landing (using braking parachutes). I have often seen them in their open hangars on the far side, but this was the first time I had seen a Mig 21 flying.
Spectactularly noisy
and one had a reheat problem during takeoff, causing a 5 m flame out of the tailpipe.
The sortie lengths were VERY short - it reminded me of watching Lightnings depart and return at Binbrook
Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me.
