Introduced in 1963? Well, not as old as the B-52 or other U.S.
models, but you'd think the IAF would have some newer planes by now.

"The MiG-21 is not known for its radar or hauling capabilities, nor
for its target acquisition equipment or range, but its known that in
many ways it was a pilot's plane. It doesn't have any computers or
fancy navigation equipment. It very much depends on the pilot and his
(hopefully) good training and experience."

Refusing to fly a pilot's plane? Morale must be in the gutter if
young officers are declining flight time for any reason.



Maybe the pilots in question needed to go work in an election campaign, and
couldn't afford to waste time flying!
