Sarasota Mig

I was in Sarasota a few times last month, and saw a Mig 23 on the ramp. Anyone got a line on it? I have some pictures, but they are distant and did not come out well as we were on the taxi out. The only distinct codes I could see were 30+13.

A quick google search ("sarasota MiG-23") turned up this:

looks like they set up MiG flights for Moscow so I don't know why they have one there unless it is for display.

Yeah, I came up with the same thing, however, I did not find one on the U.S. registry in his or that company's name. There were 6 listed on the registry in OKC, and 2 in Delaware. So that is why I came here, hoping someone had a line on it.

Sorry, a bit late replying to this one.
There are two MiG-23s at Sarasota, both ex Czech AF.
One is MiG-23ML 3303, the other 2-seat MiG-23UB 8107.
They have been there since May04 at least.
