The Mig-21 was originally built by the Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau in the
Soviet Union with a NATO nickname Fishbed. No other jet has had as many planes
produced as the Mig-21. Depending on the reference source 8,000 - 13,000 planes of
all versions were made in the Soviet Union, under license to allied countries and China
without license. A small, fast, agile, dependable and most importantly simple making it
easy to turn out great numbers of the plane.


MiG-21PFM #47 was built as c/n 940MS13. Quite often “Red 47” is mistaken for NVA
473 which has a c/n of 7006 0468 plus “Red 47” cockpit opens sideways while 473
opens to the front. On the starboard side below the cockpit is written “Fiery Nightmare”.
When “Red 47” was finished its days with the Soviet Air Force it became the gate guard
at Kluczewo AB, Poland which closed in 1992 and “Red 47” eventually made its way to
the "National Military Museum" (N.M.M.) (formerly Militaire Luchtvaart Museum), Buren,
Netherlands.
