Did not even know Canada had one MIG-21!! Amazing screenshots and super shiny livery!!!!!

When Israel got MIG-21 from Arab pilot defecting from Iraq, Israel tested that plane completely and discovered its biggest problem: pilot cannot see back of the plane to look for enemies in back. Otherwise, Israel was impressed with MIG-21 which was why Israel was glad to destroy all Arab MIG-21s on first day of Six Day War. So far Israel used MIG-21 to train and test skills of Israeli pilots flying Mirages and later F-4E Phantoms by engaging them in dogfighting in war games.

Great shots .....these caused quite a stir back in the day.
"Variously referred to by American media as “The Stab in the Back-yard”, “The Fishbed Flap” “The Redhawk Incident” or more ominously “The Canuck Invasion Crisis”, the Redhawk Program brought Canadian-American relations to the breaking point."
