Red ‘687’ was assigned to JG-3 based at Preschen near the town of Forst through the eighties and into the nineties. At that time, this unit operated the MiG-
21MF as well as the MiG-29, and pilots also had the MiG-21UM and MiG-29UB training versions at their disposal. This unit served in the air force of the
German Democratic Republic, which was the former communist East Germany. The JG-3 was graced with the name ‘Wladimir Komarow’, in honor of the
Soviet Cosmonaut who died in April, 1964, while landing in the Soyuz I capsule. This aircraft is in the collection of the Deutches Museum Flugwerft in
Oberschleissheim.
