MiG-21 Fighter Jet Sold on eBay

Comments: 1 Views: 3,488

This week on eBay: a Chinese businessman Zhang Cheng bought a Soviet MiG-21F fighter jet.  The price was just $25,000.  That’s a bargain.  I wonder if he’ll be able to import the jet to China?  Cheng stated, “I have the buying power and my company has an empty space where I can display the plane.”

From the Cavanaugh Flight Museum:
The MiG-21 was the first Soviet fighter capable of flying faster than twice the speed of sound. Its revolutionary delta wing design offered excellent handling characteristics, a high top speed and a respectable pay load. This potent combination of speed, agility and powerful armament made the MiG-21 one of the most competent and successful fighters of the 1960s and 1970s. MiG-21s saw extensive combat action in such diverse conflicts as Vietnam, the Arab-Israeli Wars, the Iran-Iraq War, Afghanistan and Desert Storm.
