from http://www.cavanaughflightmuseum.com/MiG21.htm
"The MiG-21 US Mongol B on display was built in Poland in 1970 and served with the Polish Air Force as an advanced trainer. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum purchased the plane in 1993, and it is now painted in North Vietnamese Air Force colors."
I didn't mention, this is the two seater version.

Hmmm, it must have been a misunderstanding. As far as I know, MiG-21's were NOT built in Poland.

Nice shot. That has got to be one of the shiniest Texans that I have ever seen.

I forgot to mention, the old time trainer above is called a Link Trainer. We also have one in our museum. Cool history with that device:

Super shots AG I must admit im getting a soft spot for the Texan I think it's a really nicely proportioned plane.
They all looked well cared for aircraft its a lovely collection there AG
The perspex bump stick cover on the Merlin is very cool you have taken some very viewable pics AG well done and thanks for the insight to Cavanaugh

Wow! The trainer was used by the Japanese. Didn't know that, it certainly is ironic...
