Flier from Savasleyka air base crossword clue
44 Across · WSJ Crossword, October 16, 2026 · 3 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Flier from Savasleyka air base” is MIG. It appears as 44 Across in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 16, 2026, a Friday puzzle titled “On the Wrong Track” by Brad Wiegmann, and it fills 3 squares running left to right from row 7, column 11 of the 21×21 grid.
The clue is a straightforward definition, so the answer is a direct synonym or a factual match for the words as written. The entry begins with M and ends with G, and contains 1 vowel and 2 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Down entries should be enough to lock it in. Friday puzzles are the Journal’s contest crosswords with a hidden meta answer, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
