Lighting up the night! A Mig 19 and a USAF F-35A make a few spectacular evening passes at the Capital Airshow, Mather Field, California June 2024 #airshow #capitalairshow #aviation #AvGeek #spotter #photography #Nikon #nikonphotgraphy #CCA2025 #F35A #Mig19 #cvvhrn #F35 #afterburner

Latest satellite spy photo over Crimea shows Russia has pulled out MIG19's to defend itself against Ukraine.

There was a dude with a flying Mig19 and another unrelated dude with a non-flying Mig 19 in his yard in the Texas county I worked.

I saw a Spitfire Mk1 kit on a shelf this week so if I can find a JU88 we might do Battle of Britain next. I’ve never done German stuff.

Maybe Mediterranean B24 v something Italian.

Also on the list is Mig19 v F8 Crusader.

If you see this, post your favourite Cold War aircraft.

A NADA QUE SALTE LA CHISPA PARA QUE LA HUMANIDAD SE VAYA A LA MIERDA.
Fuerzas de la OTAN ( Estonia y Polonia), con barcos, helicoptero y un avión Mig19, intentan detener un petrolero que navegaba por aguas internacionales.

Esta vez un avión ruso SU 35 fue suficiente para disuadir a los agresores.

#MiGMondays Czechoslovakian MiG-19P no. 0813 at Kbely. Cz flew MiG-19’s from 1958 to 1967 when they were replaced by MiG-21’s. The P variant was the interceptor and had a radar in its nose. First 📷 by me, the second one shows 0813 on the front of a model kit box #russianaircraft #coldwar

They will be a definite improvement over the Mig21 and Mig19, they are flying today. But they are no threat to South Korea or USAF.

Not much would match the sheer white-knuckled, fire it up, and off you go thrill of this guy.

ありがとうございます！結構冷戦期の初期のパイロット服なのでMiG19とか、時代が新しくなるとよくみる緑色のパイロットスーツになってると思いますおー。

I must say, flying the #MiG19 in #DCS is quite nice actually. It’s zippy and holds its own in a one-circle dogfight. I actually found it difficult to stall unless I got stupid slow. The guns don’t carry a lot of ammo but sound…oh so damn good.

Then I flew the MiG-21.

Yeah…

TIL during the Cultural Revolution, the #PLAAF started a trend of painting military slogans and quotes from Chairman Mao's Little Red Book on their aircraft as a show of patriotism.

Here’s one more. This is a black-and-white photo from below of a Soviet MiG-19PM carrying four guided ‘beam-riding’ RS-2U air-to-air missiles. Judging from the darkness of the sky above this was probably taken while flying near its service ceiling of 17,500 m.

Since I’m currently trialling the MiG-19P in #DCS I decided to look up some nice pics of the MiG-19 and Shenyang J-6/F-6.

I have to say these two are some of the coolest of the plane in service I’ve come across. Really showcases what the MiG is all about.

Gotta love grinding for the mig19 without premium account
