30.000 Hours MiG-29!

An impressive flight hour anniversary was reached in Laage today: Our wing commander himself went through the 30000th flight hour "MiG 29 in German hands" today.
These hours were flown from 1988 when it was introduced into the NVA until today. With 24 (23) aircraft this means up to 1500 hours per jet and this is a record worldwide!

The pictures show the wing commander at the reception by
 squadron members and press shortly after his flight in front of his FULCRUM, the 29+01.
