Okay, like three years ago, I saw an episode of discovery "wings" and I remember them talking about a USAF MiG-29 test squadron and showing videos of MiG-29s in F16-like grey camouflage schemes.....you know.....dark grey on body, but cockpit to nose lighter grey?  I have since that time randomly asked my friends if they have heard of that, and a couple have said yes, but they haven't been able to obtain any pictures or videos of it. ???

I would like to ask everyone to help me look this up if you wish, and if you find any pictures or videos.....don't matter if its super tiny.....aslong as you can tell its got american markings. "Possible" results are welcome too..
Written information about it is ofcourse welcome.

..if u find anything reply here or email me/ chat with me at fly_fulcrum21@hotmail.com or on my other contacts in my profile.

Thanks

Thanks for your effort...but no, they're not Luftwaffe migs, altho i'll take that into consideration.  But I do recall seeing USAF markings on them....

I remember hearing about the US procuring some ex eastern european Mig-29s in the late 90s. To my knowledge they haven't flown them - else we would have seen them in an exercise such as Red flag. I'd expect they would have been more interested in taking them to pieces to see how good they are technologically. The first use of Migs in American exercises apparently seems to have been during Red Flag 2000, when they flew along side the US F-5/16/18 aggressors.

Its odd to believe they have been scrapped, because one or two can be put to the "scrapping" job.  Those migs appeared to be used to test its aerial capabilities.

Although americans using fulcrums in red flag seems weird too because you'd want your pilots to train in your equiptment, and that way you learn how to compete with the foreign pilot.

On this war the US forces have dug out some MiG-25s out of the sand, I wonder if the US will use them for testing as well?
Hmm...well we got the info, now where are the pictures  of the MiG-29s?! lol

here's some pictures of the MiG-25 being dug out if you're interested.

Moldavia had 'internal use' spec Fulcrums... not something the US wants to have floating around for a bargain.

The german Fulcrums are second-best class export models. As they were stationed at an important border they don't differ that much from the real deal. Iraq had a bunch of shitty ones, although some of them were newer compared to the german ones
