MiG-23 in Ahaus (D)

Post by erik_kamphuis »

In Ahaus (Germany) close to Enschede there is a company Virtual Aero with a Czech Mig-23 inside (and a Russian AF Mi-2 on the roof). I am planning to visit this site and check the c/n off the MiG, but where can I find this c/n plate? In the wheelbay?? Any info on this, still not ID-ed MiG is welcome.

Last time I was there (April 8-11, 2010), there was no sign of a MiG-23. Last time I saw that plane there was in 2007 or 2008.
They do have an Su-22 suspended over the sheltered car park.

By the way, Virtual Aero doesn't exist anymore, it's called Tobit Elements now.

The MiG 23 is preserved inside the building and it's only the cockpit-section.
