Some little progress on the little bird. The model will now represent a MiG-21SE (SE for "San Escobar"), a modification made to San Escobars aging MiG-21 MF's jointly with the friendly nation of Kuba.





The aim was to increase the wing area slightly and therefore increasing the payload, maneuverability at transonic speeds and further lowering the landing speed with minimal cost. The Kuban engineers modified the outer section of the frontal flaps, adding a classic "dog teeth" design. Total payload gain was supposedly about 300 kilograms (all original MiG-21 versions incloding the MiG-21bis had 1000 kilograms). The plane also received modern chinese avionics, giving it the ability for low altitude night/bad weather missions.

I wouldn't worry. I think your choice of San Escobar is brilliant! I never heard of it before today.
This map makes me wish I knew Spanish. I'm sure I only got 1/10th of the jokes on it!

It appears to be a very large file and took me a couple minutes to load.

You should also know Polish language. And know much about Poland and politics.  For example: Sanna SalEvsca - Anna Zalewska, the hated, former minister of education in Poland. Cornichones - (in polish "korniszony") - gherkins. Para Soles ("parasole" with -s) - Umbrellas. De Mono - it is the name of polish pop-rock band. Los Samogonos - "samogon" it is one of polish words means "moonshine".
