Someone is playing with their toy.

I live/work near a municiple airport, so yesterday when I was going out to eat lunch in my car, I heard a military jet engine flying near by. I looked up and I thought I was hallucinating. The jet had a large tail-fin and stubby, delta-dart wings..... A MiG-21?

It had it's gear down and cirlced back to the airport. I didn't get a good look at it, but it sure looked a lot like a MiG-21.

A few minutes later, I could hear it again, heading towards me. This time, it flew right over me.

I know my Russian jets, it was a mig-21

It did the same thing again, so I figured it was doing touch and goes at the airport. I would have driven over there, but I didn't want to loose my parking spot

.

I called my dad up and told him to go check it out, since he gets off work waaay sooner than I do. When he stopped by, the MiG was taking off, heading north, and never turned around again, heading to Seattle, maybe?

Not something you see everyday.
