Now MiG-23UB's remain in operational service with the Russian air force these days, but there were plenty of these trainers active some two decades ago, as shown by MiG-23UB 7902209/62(b) on its last active day at Finow with 787IAP. '62' is here seen prior to its flight to Ross on the flightline at this old airbase, with roots back to WWII when it was used by the Luftwaffe. Today, a small aviation museum is worth visiting.
