 No, it does not come with instructions, but it does have ejection seats.
My son Robert, with the white shirt, was working on putting the wings on the jet this afternoon, so I stopped in to shot a few pix and helped out a little.
It's a Mig 21, and it is certified airworthy. It burns about 140 gallons per hour at cruise, and carries enough fuel for 30 minutes at over mach 1.
Sigma 15mm fisheye, no filter.

SHWWEEET! a subject close to my heart. Nothing like a big engine strapped to some wings and a cockpit.

I like the perspective from the fisheye here. It works well with the subject.

Interesting color on that machine. I had to rub my eyes and check the monitor! What a fun time with your son.

No instructions! You gentlemen take on the big jobs on a build team don't you:-) Have you earlier pictures that show it being started. You could make this a series of shots showing the beginning (in boxes and the build team in front doing a Mythbusters pose:-) ) to the final result of someone in the cockpit giving thumbs up ready to take flight.

I like how you guys always seem to be building some contraption lol. Are you going to drop some melons from this? hehe Love the perspective of the big wing vs. the size of the guys.

I like the colour of the plane. I hope they leave it primer red and just seal it :) Very interesting subject for day 1 :)

Hope to see this fly one day if that's his intention. Must be fun working on an old Soviet design aircraft like that. Well taken and good choice of lens.

I'm curious like Ken - where the hell do you buy a Mig 21. Have you got any 'Tomcat's'?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

OK, so where does one get a Mig 21? That's really cool - who gets to fly it?
