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

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

Mike,
Airline Data Unlimited has N6285L a MiG-21F-13 c/n261109 as "Preserved".


A search for this on the FAA website shows
"Serial Number 1109 Type Registration Corporation
Manufacturer Name MIKOYAN GUREVICH Certificate Issue Date 07/07/1998
Model MIG 21 Status Valid
Type Aircraft Fixed Wing Single-Engine Type Engine Turbo-Jet
Pending Number Change None Dealer No
Date Change Authorized None Mode S Code 52033407
MFR Year None Fractional Owner NO


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Registered Owner

Name JET CHEVROLET INC
Street PO BOX 4986
City FEDERAL WAY State WASHINGTON Zip Code 98063-4986
County KING
Country UNITED STATES "



Will this do, the FAA can't be wrong :|

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