FRED ( Freaking Ridicules Economic Disaster) and a Hurky bird. I know it's photoshopped because it shows FRED flying. We all know that's a joke!

Correction, it's not FRED, it's his little brother the C-141B, a wonderful aircraft. Really hard to believe the 130, 141, and FRED aka C-5 came from the same manufacturer!

I remember seeing it at an airshow in 1987, it was on the back of a truck. It is one of a few fuselages that the Deutsches Technikmuseum held, but it isn't this one on display in the museum.

Shenyang JJ-2 licence built MiG-15UTI. This was the first Soviet type that the Chinese built under licence.

MiG-15bis, contrary to popular belief, the Chinese did not build the single-seat MiG-15 under licence. The single-seaters in PLAAF service were all built in Russia, although Chinese-made sections were added to them. What confuses people is that they received the designation J-2 denoting the single-seat variant of the Shenyang JJ-2.
