From Flightglobal Airspace comes this picture of a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21UMD. To quote the photographer, Boran Pivčić: "It's still glistening with the morning's dew and looking absolutely brilliant at the head of the static lineup for the 2011 Pleso AFB Open Day. The distinctive ILS shack paintjob is actually a blown-up version of the Croatian coat of arms - known locally, for obvious reasons, as the "chessboard" - and is the source of the aircraft's popular nickname, 'Kockica' (or 'little square')."
