Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum-A 

Hungarian Air Force 59th TFW, 1st TFS, Black 04 Kecskemet AB, Hungary, 2003

The Hungarian Air Force 59th Tactical Fighter Wing had two Tactical Fighter Squadrons, 1st Puma Repuloszazad (Cougars) and 2nd Dongo Repuloszazad (Bees) located at Kecskemet Air Base. From 1993 until December 2010 each squadron was equipped with eleven MiG-29B and three MiG-29UB. One of the MiG-29s with the 1st TFS was Black 04 c/n 296053127 f/n 4508. In 2003 these MiGs were overhauled and repainted in low-visibility schemes. In 2010 the Hungarian Air Force replaced the MiG-29s with the SAAB JAS-39 Gripens.

Mikoyan MIG-29 Fulcrum

Designed to help the Soviet Union attain air superiority, the MiG-29 fighter was first flown on October 6th, 1977. The MiG-29, known as the "Fulcrum," has a high-mounted bubble canopy and twin jet engines with diagonal-shaped air intakes and large exhausts. Its tapered, swept-back wings and boom-mounted tail fins give it its classic look. Armed with medium and short-range missiles and unguided weapons for ground and sea-surface targets, the MiG-29's sight is a helmet-mounted system-the pilot chooses his targets by looking at them. Even today the Fulcrum remains a potent adversary, and will remain in service for at least another decade.
