[@Foster] Yuri is looing good so far! Bulgarian is a nice choice. It's a refreshing to change to DA COMRADE RUSSIA, but still getting to use a lot of the same stuff. And woo, get to play with different culture and such too. 

I hadn't heard of the specific MLD variant of the MiG-23 before, it sounds like a good one.

I saw a sad-looking MiG-23 and an accompanying sad-looking MiG-27 at a museum in autumn last year. Admittedly, they only looked sad as they probably needed a bit of TLC from being on display outdoors in T'North of England and its' weather. The fact it was tremendously cold, windy and overcast also didn't help. That makes most things look sad by comparison.
