Description What is surely the most eye-catching MiG in European skies is seen striking a photogenic pose as it recovers back home. The lead ship of a three-strong formation, 165 was out and about practicing for an annual military parade held over Croatia's historic capital Knin.

Its nice to see that Croatia is still operating this old bird, seems to be fewer and fewer operators every year. I think it would be nice to see these along with the Romanian 'Lancers' at RIAT or come to Canada where I live!

Unfortunately, the fleet will likely never fly beyond the immediate vicinity of Croatia. Even though they are equipped to handle modern airspace, they still have issues which prevent them traveling further abroad...
