Early-morning picture of MiG-23UB 0904013/94(b) of 559APIB on its home base Finsterwalde, departure day for Morozovsk (Rostov-Don). This was one of the regiment's 8 UB's. The day itself was special, because the base commander refused the entrance of photographers on the base. But he was gone and the deputy-commander didn't mind earning some extra cash. So after paying a nice fee, the entrance gates went open for a crowd of probably 80-100 people.
