So Đà Nẵng is a half commercial, half military airport? I have never seen a military aircraft in service like this before, only the ones that were retired or on display at a museum.

There are many combat aircraft at the airport, but many apparently do not fly and are in storage.
In the opposite corner of the airport there are hangars, where apparently there are aircraft that are still in use. There were exactly the same blue Su-22s. These two planes were brought to the site where they are preparing for takeoff. Two days before, I heard combat aircraft flying over the city, but I was never able to see them. But every day 2-3 Mi-8s flew over the city. There was not a single helicopter at Danang airport; apparently they have their own airfield.

If my eyes weren't wrong, I think I saw a MiG-21 there. They have been retired from 2015 so it's most likely that they're in storage.

I still see some of these Mil Mi-8s/Mi-17s flying near my area alongside with some CASA C-295s belongs to the 918th Air Force Transport Brigade, headquartered at Gia Lâm Air Base. Noi Bai is a only commercial airport so it's a high chance that they came from Gia Lâm Air Base.

Yes, by all indications there are MiG-21 aircraft there.
