Great job Freebird - I have been to every one except the ones in the Eastern Bloc and Australia. you did a gret job bringing them forward.

If I get a chance i will dig up and post shots I took in the back offices or Chino, Usaf at Wright Pat, USNASM facity at Silver Hill and the restoration Hangers of CAF (That would be CONFEDERATE AIR FORCE) at Harlingen - and yes you may refer to me as 'Colonel'.

I spent a lot of time talking to the dying talent that still know how to apply and dope fabric to elevators and rudders. Won't be long now when that art is as dead as glass blowers from Dresden in 1945

Great job -salute for an important subject about our gloabl heritage

Have you been up to the Commonwealth Training Museum in Brandon too?
It was sad because it looked like they don't get too many visitors. Soon forgotten....

 

[Freebird]

Can anyone identify this one??

 

[Freebird]

Can anyone identify this one??

Nobody recognises it?

Well anyways here is the Mig 25 Foxbat...

A pair of Mig 23 Floggers

Great thread Freebird! And no, I have no idea what that plane is. An odd looking beast though.

 

[Freebird]

Odd indeed!

Some of the helicopters on display...


The "Haze" ASW copter.

 

[Freebird]

The heavy lift Mi-26 "Halo"

 

[Freebird]

A Mi-14 'Hormone" ASW with a "Helix" in the background.

The aircraft in the forground is the Yak-36 "Forger", STOL which equipped the "Kiev" class carriers.

 

[Freebird]

2 "Haze" helicopters.

{at least somebody is working on keeping them painted}

 

[Freebird]

How about this for an unusual bird?

The "Antara"


A pretty darn good looking aircraft, considering it was built in 1917!

{Bet you don't see too many of these...}

 

[Freebird]

And the Mig 29 Fulcrum

 

[Freebird]

And I had to get my ugly mug into at least 1 pic...

 

[Freebird]

Some pics of the Mi-24 "Hind", first one is of the version "A"


Second is of the later version "D"

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]
