MiGs flying today doing ILS circuits 118 and 166. 118 now carries a large 30 on the port side of the tail to commemorate the Air Forces 30th year. Unusually there are a number of MiGs left out on the flight line which included 131, 164, 167, one with nose covered and one marked as 103 and in the original part JRV colour scheme as worn by 103 when active. This airframe is believed to be 123, first noted as such on 25-06-2021 and eventually destined to be displayed at Divulje Split.
Also arriving today Mi-171 227.
