That is correct, but it how the rumor mill runs, since it was a Mig from KYIP my source assumed it was the 17 not the 21 Here is the local news report. It says it is a MIG-21 It occurred yesterday, evidently, at the Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie.

Yep, it's a 21.

All sorts of "go fast".

Not much of "slow down"
