[edit] Naming conventions

MiGs follow the convention of using odd numbers for fighter aircraft. However, this naming convention is maintained not directly by MiG, but by ordering institutions, such as Ministry of Defence or Council of Ministers' Military-Industrial Comission (while in Soviet Union). The original designations for MiG aircrafts are 2- or 3-digit numbers, separated by a dot. 1.44 or 1.42 is an example of original naming. Although the MiG-8 and MiG-110 exist, they are not fighters. The MiG-105 "Spiral" was designed as an orbital interceptor, contemporaneous with the U.S. Air Force's cancelled X-20 Dyna-Soar.
The NATO reporting name convention uses nicknames starting with the letter "F" for fighters, one-syllable for piston engines, two for jets.

[edit] In popular culture

MiGs were the best-known Soviet fighters during the Cold War, and as a result there are a number of fictional MiGs in Western popular culture.

• The film "Top Gun" features re-badged Northrop F-5 fighters as fictional MiG-28s.
• The MiG-31 'Firefox' was the subject of two novels (Firefox and Firefox Down) and a 1982 movie.
• The MiG-37 'Ferret-E' is a plastic model kit created by Italeri (also sold by Testors).
• The MiG-242 was featured in the Gerry Anderson production of Joe 90.
• The MiG was also in Stargate Continuum
