THE MIG-21

The fighter jet’s 51-foot by 24-foot surface is covered entirely with beaded panels in colors and patterns that convey peace, cultural pride, and a joyous celebration of life.

Approximately 11,496 Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG- 21) planes were built by the USSR, many of which are still in service today in countries as diverse as North Korea, Libya, Iraq, India, Cuba, Egypt, Mozambique, Serbia, Yemen, Russia, and Ukraine.

“The aim of The MiG-21 Project,” said Ziman, β€œis to take the most mass-produced supersonic fighter aircraft and to turn it from a machine of war into something that looks beautiful.”
