MiG-29 front 3/4 view

A Hungarian MiG-29 about to take off, with plenty of gusto and afterburner :)
The Hungarians had another Mig-29 on static, from which they were selling squadron T-shirts. Having bought one, futurshox would love to know what it says! Kecskemét is their airbase. Anyone able to translate the rest?
