Slovakiaring Race Track, Orechová Potôň, Slovakia

Post by witje »

Yesterday we had a training at the Slovakiaring in Orechová Potôň. An ex Czech Air Force MiG-21 is preserved here. MiG-21MF 9711 is painted in Slovak brown camo c/s, with Slovakia Air Force roundel.
Also a Mi-2 is stored on the backside of the track. Unfortunately no serial is worn on the outside. It wears a green/brown c/s. Does someone know more about this Mi-2?

This for the Mig.

Let me check whether I have a detailed shot of the Mi-2. It's part of the collection of military vehicles at the track - based in the building near the off-road track.

Was the c/n plate removed from the Mi-2 so you could not check it ?

I saw it from a distance. It wasn’t possible to visit the Mi-2.

When I was there in 2017 only the MiG-21 and Mi-2 where present. The Mi-24 was added later on.
