N104CJ ... MiG 15 @ Norwich Airport !

Post by keithnewsome » Fri Jul 17, 2015 7:52 pm

Couldn't believe it tower asked the arriving 737 to 'move over' to allow a 'MiG 15' behind, running short of fuel, to land first and bingo we get this amazing visitor popping in for a splash and dash apparently on a flight from Norway to Shannon ? First photo is a 100% crop on a hot day !!!!! Well it has a civilian registration .... ho hum ??
