Pics of iraqi migs dug out of desert

more on site....

I wonder how airworthy they would be after being buried?
Notice the wings are gone...


Sorry for the big pic

The wing probably hasn�t gone!.... It�s probably just been stored in the over head locker!

Airworthiness? Nope. Zero. Zip. Nada.

Ever wonder why they keep sweeping the runways? It to keep any foreign objects from getting sucked into the engine intake. Even if you have a small pebble and it gets sucked in there, it does hell to the engines.

Needless to say, with all that dust there, it's no wonder the Iraqi Air Force is grounded.

Finders keepers!!......Losers weepers!!

Yeah but does anyone want a buried mig??

Me I would use it as a target for practice shooting.

Great pics!

They could always sell them to some african dictator, he could use them for intimidation factor alone.

Let them sit on the runway for appearance sakes.

I assume the turbines can be stripped down and rebuilt or remanded if wanted.

Would it be worth it?

I think i've seen these b4 on ATS somewhere.

Sorry you cant even afford the oldest mig!

So dont talk about useing that mig as target pratice.

If you would be able to get your hands on it you would never even strach it.

if you guys were realy into a51 stuff, then you would know that the guy of dreamland.com got a pic of a pic taxing out of the runway
