Default IAF pilots revolt, refuse to fly MiG-21

http://www.hipakistan.com/en/detail....&f_type=source

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.
