MiG-21 Dataplates

[mrhenniger]

Where do you find a dataplate on a MiG-21? Wheel wells?

1 Cockpit right hand side lower section of the instrument panal
2 Nose Access panel left side behind the radar unit
3 Both Mains back side near the center section
4 Engine mount access panels just below the left side engine main bolts

Thanks for the reply Rob, but I am not sure I understand the lingo. Are any of the data plates externally visable without opening any panels. I am hoping to get up close to the one in Seattle at the car dealership. I doubt anyone would appreciate me opening panels (that is assuming I would know how).

It is located at a car dealership called "Jet Chevrolet" which is located south of Seattle. I saw it today, but did not see a data plate. It is a Polish AF example. There is the number 1109 on the nose, but I would prefer to confirm via a data plate. It isn't too far out of my way to return for another look in case anyone has has any ideas regarding where to find the data plate.

Mike,
A small correction for you, 1109 is ex Czech, not ex Polish.
