WATCH: Take A Front Seat In Croatian MiG-21's
The Croatian Ministry of Defence have released GoPro footage revealing what it’s like to be flying in the cockpit of a MiG-21.
Pilots from the 91st Croatian Air Force and Air Defence Fighter Aircraft Squadron have just completed three weeks of training in MiG-21s.
The pilots recorded some of the training activities at their base in Zemunik, near Zadar, and above Dugi Otok on the Croatian coast.
Work began on the first MiG-21 in 1953 by Soviet researchers.
The Croatian government has formally decided to refurbish some of the Mig-21's in it's fleet in 2013.
The number of operational MiG-21s began declining at the end of the Cold War and modern models replaced them in front-line service.
However, the MiG still serves in many Air Forces including fellow NATO member Romania.
