why did they scrap all of these aircraft. Some are still quite modern. Even if they were surplus to Hungarian AF could they not thave sold them to a third world country (eg Pakistan)????

G'day Monox! Nice photos.

Your first post, bottom left image, a SAAB Draken on the left? How did that end up in a Hungarian Museum?

There's also a shot of a Viggen (2nd from bottom right -2nd montage)

EDIT: Just noticed that there's also a Lansen back to the left...

I guess they purchased one example for the museum or maybe exchanged it for some Hungarian aircraft for which Swedish museum would show interest. Common practice of exchanging surplus aircraft between aeronautical museums, I believe...
 
Most airplanes Hungary's leadership embezzled and sold it to private persons onto annihilation. More than 100 pieces of airplane. Arrived from Draken Sweden, it was painted on Kecel, but the visible yellow nuance already the rust. All of the museum rots, vainly the beautiful exhibition nobody cares about their protection.

Thank you to the pictures the comments.
 
Szép képek Monox!

Sajnos nem csak Magyarországon történik ilyen dolgok... most éppen tönkre mennek a mi gyönyörü és (volt-) tökéletes álapotban tartva Skyhawk vadászgépek Új-Zélandan.
A különbseg a mi példán pedig azt, hogy találtuk hélyes (polgári) vevők Amerikában, akik akart őket használni sugárhajtoműves-repülőgép oktatásokra, de az utólsó pillanatban, az Amerikai Állam azt nem engedték el, mert 'nem szabad a polgaroknak volt-Hadseregi technikai eszköz használni'...
Ha látyunk mennyi ilyen fajta gép rendszeresen repülnek polgari tulájdonság alatt az USA-ban, én azt hiszem, hogy inkább direkt csinálták bosszükinten - elvileg azert, mert nem vásároltük az Ö szaras régi F-16-osok, ahogy térvezték.

A szomorü tény az, hogy az Üj-Zélandi Államnak most máshova se szabad eladni őket, se adni egy Muzeumnak, se seléjtezni (az nem kivánok, mindenképben!), mert transakció-közben áll a dolog az amerikai cégel - ami soha nem lesz kész elvileg - , és egy csomó pénzt kell fizetnünk naponta, tárolni őket. Azt mondja is, hogy már is elég szarul néznek ki, hiába ki vannak csamogolva...

(Bocs a sok hibák -jobban beszélek Magyarul, mint írni!)

Although this picture is not Pápa AFB, but made in Kecskemét AFB, the same machinery in place that will be their fate. In the autumn of 1995 the grounds of reduction of armaments destroyed 10 MiG-21MF and 2 MiG-21bis.



And those who still await their fate ....

 
The next few pictures are not in a museum, but by now the MALÉV "operated" Kossuth Lajos Secondary School in the former were made recently. I would like to share with you.

The images of interest to the page without the Mi-8. Said interest in the obscure background of falling into the machinery here, it may be all you know that this is the machine of the Russian Air Force, served in Ferihegy and the seizure of the school was after, having received the Hungarian flag, and Camo.

Amazing some of those Soviet planes. Sad some of them aren't restored in the West as then we could see some interesting set-piece dogfight scenes between F-86 Sabres and things such as the MiG-17 Fresco over airfields...
 
Traces of a bygone era, maybe still operational be. Szolnok AFB, in the school hangar.

 
The Mi-8 130 tact. nr. Szentkirályszabadja AFB, the barracks stood for years. The regiment was dismantled after the removal of this place. Last known residence was in 2006, Pápa AFB.

 
Pápa AFB, skanzen. Now, four aircraft available.


Magyargencs, military park. The MiG-21bis the only aircraft in the collection.
