Nice! Does the MiG-23/27 fly?

According to the heatwaves behind the exaust and the fact there are two pilots on board, i'd say yes.
(well actualy it's taxiing.)
Geert.

only taxi run

The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. (CWAM) has recently completed run tests on the MiG-23UB Flogger and everything is functioning perfectly. CWAM is now working to secure additional ground test devices for the Flogger to verify systems parameters. The aircraft's AAIP was submitted to the Dallas FSDO earlier this year and we are in hopes that we'll be receiving a call from the FAA very soon. This bird is almost ready to fly.

there is also this one:

The Cold War Air Museum, Inc. (CWAM) MiG-21UM (two seater) has recently been started and all engine functions worked perfectly. The aircraft's gear retraction hydraulics have been replaced, all hoses have been measured and replacements have been ordered, wheel assemblies were overhauled, tires were replaced with new rubber, and avionics updates have been started. The museum hopes to have the MiG-21 ready for high speed taxing and preflight ready final maintenance by Fall of 2012 and airworthiness certification before the end of the year. CWAM Board Member and Safety Officer Jon Boede commented that, "we will take our time and make sure all details are addressed with this aircraft and the training of the pilots before flights begin in this aircraft. Respect is demanded when 42 of the aircraft's emergency procedures end with the same phrase -- eject!" Lancaster Airport's (KLNC) recent runway extension will be appreciated for MiG-21 regular operations.

Thanks for the information, I hope it doesn't get painted over! Would be nice if they revived the Bulgarian marks!

Or paint it black with RED stars on it... as ACTUAL Migs

Ah yes, like the MiG-28 from the 80's (F-5 and T-38 look-alike's )

Very nice stuff they have there at CWAM, hopefully they also try some Western hardware, like Phantoms, Starfighters, Delta Dart/Dagger or Voodoo's

Liked the pictures, hopefully they stay Bulgarians!!
