MiG-21 — Supersonic Legion
The 1950s were a groundbreaking period in aviation history. By the late 1940s, pilots had transitioned from propeller-driven aircraft to jets, and the sound barrier had just been broken. Yet engineers were already working on a new generation of aircraft that would make even the most recent designs look obsolete.

IAR-93B Vultur — Flight of the Vulture
The Flight of the Vulture event brings a unique aircraft to our game, and today we’d like to take a closer look at it! This subsonic fighter-bomber is a joint development of Yugoslavia and Romania. Made in the early 1970s, it was accepted into service by both nations under the names of the J-22 Orao and the IAR-93 Vultur respectively. The Romanian version’s name means ‘vulture’, and its late modification is the one available to players!
