MiG-21 Shopping
Wednesday, 6th September 2006 by James Turnbull
Heading down the shops you might walk, maybe cycle or probably take the car. There's not many people who do the weekly errands in a MiG-21 fighter.
Sadly it turns out that this plane is always in the car park on permanent display. There's ground level pictures on Airliners.net including one of the plane back in 2003, just after it fell of its pedestal and crushed a parked VW Golf.

Coventry University have a Harrier, but I haven’t seen it whilst skating there. It’s probably indoors =[
Damn I thought it was on a low bombing run over the produce section. Clean up on aisle twelve

Where do they get these things? “Throw in the MiG, and we’ve got a deal!” =)
There’s one a few miles from where i live. Don’t know if it’s a Harrier or MIG though. View Placemark

The plane in Leipzig is actually REALLY on the building.
@ Jonas wow, cool find! check in out in the Birds Eye view. http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=sjnc65j0th2f&style=b&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=10797074&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1
It appears to be a Ilyushin II 18-D like the one seen here http://www.airliners.net/photo/Interflug/Ilyushin-Il-18D/1346452&tbl=photo_info&photo_nr=5&prev_id=1346453&next_id=1346303
In the BirdsEye you can seen that the airline is what was once Interflug. The former state airline of East Germany. Check out the NY Times article on the wikipage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interflug
The jet you can see on Google Maps is this one: http://www.skybird-ev.de/tour/german/297.jpg I live 30 km away from this place. But the MIG was already removed.
