USA 2003

 For the fifth and last time 7 MiG-29 made their way from Laage Germany to the USA. On the 5th may around 1000 o'clock a lot of press and spotters sah the jets take off for Edinburgh/Scotland. From there they continued further on to Kevlafic/Iceland where we stayed overnight. Since we did not encounter any technical oder weather problems, the journey could continue the next day to Narsasuaq in Greenland and from there to Goose Bay /Canada.
