I like that MiG !

It's interesting to note that in the later service this particular MiG-21 received new paint scheme. Popularly nicknamed "Milka" she was the only Slovak MiG painted this way. The letters "SL" on the tail refer to Sliač Air Base.Today she rests in the open with other decommissioned Slovak MiG-21s.
