Since Albania had only 12 J-7 in its inventory and later lost two of them , I have the impression we have seen by now pics of every J-7 left in the country. In terms of modelling those ac are rather monotonous. They are all painted in the whitish camo with only the numbers changing. Howewer the following bad quality pic depicts an exemplary with seemingly the cocpit frames painted in dark green.
I think there's pics of only about 5 of them actually...there's pictures where several can be seen but their serials can't be seen...so maybe.
This new paint on the cockpit, nose and tail rudder must be very recent...since it doesn't appear in pictures of this same 0207 aircraft taken a few years eariler (I think the latest of this one is from 1999...and this one is from 2005). BTW it is in one of the hardened shelters in Rinas...and you can see an engine next to it...

The first is a MiG-21RF from Egypt.
You can see the camera equipment under the cockpit.

I know it's already been covered but had to shove this in. Close to my heart cause I work on her, '959' at MAM.

For current state of the Albanian F-7 see www.MiG-21.de/English/NewsArchive/Albania2006.htm. Pictures were taken last week.

Impresive pics really. It is a pity that some of the pics inside the caverns didnt't benefit from more ilumination
Apparently the AAF has resorted to painting a camo version on the few surviving Y-5 ( An -2). First time I see such thing.
