  This is a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23BN Flogger-H (see note on photo).

  TVL1970 Thanks for the information. We'll update our catalog record.

• Dusty_73 said:

  Wow! Very interesting. I'd presume the Cuban pilot had defected and he nor the plane weren't ever going back to Cuba. I'd be curious where this jet ended up.

  Funny, even though these are still in active service in some countries, they are now considered sport aircraft.

  I wonder how many Cuban pilots have made that dash for freedom across the Florida straights? Very interesting.
