Finnish debut for Norwegian MiG

摘要

The Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron's SB Lim-2 N 104 CJ made its European public debut at the Turku Airshow in Finland on 6-7 June. For the occasion, the Polish-built MiG-15UTI, piloted by Kenneth Aarkvisla, was specially painted in Finnish Air Force markings with serial 'MU-2'. Finland never operated the MiG-15 as a front-line fighter, but it did acquire a quartet of two-seaters, produced by Aero in Czechoslovakia, as conversion trainers for its MiG-21 force. Two of the original four aircraft, including the real MU-2, survive in Finnish museums.
