#5 Hey, he's learned how to 'toss' ordinance. Probably has plenty of practice, at this point. |

#4 It's a decent-enough aircraft if you don't have any opposition, and you never have to bail out. Heck, a Piper Cub is an effective warplane against sitting ducks. The Vulcan ADA was designed to specifically take out the Mig-21. Of course, talking about "Mig-21" as a monolith is also nonsense -- there were more than 30 different variants, including those built in China (both under license and just plain copied). |

#3 I think cameraman had that puppy dog zoomed in quite a bit, perhaps some production software to center, take out the zoom and shake. Still, tracked the plane and bomb release fairly well. |
