Not the troop transport but the plane behind all torn up.

 

I will be greatly surprised if anyone get this.

Is that a Flogger behind the torn up transport?

Yes a Mig-23MLD I believe.

[+ST0RM]

Nice to see that the XC-99 finally made it to Wright-Patt. It sat at Kelly for a long time.

 

-S

 

P.S. Do I win? What's the prize?

[Sakai]

where is there a Mig-23 just layin around???

[+starfighter2]

C-82 Packet ? Or maybe C-119 Flying Boxcar? In background I suppose it's Convair XC-99.

[GASCAN39]

[+Dave]

I suppose it's Convair XC-99.

 

But you had to look it up didn't you....tsk tsk.....

[Viggen]

Is that C-82 the same one that was on display out doors?

Yes, going in for refurbishing.

[James Fox]

[+Dave]

Yeah but you don't count....you knew because you and I talked about it before.....wanker.....

[+JediMaster]

It's sad to see that's how it looks now. I read an article about it in IAPR I think a few months ago.

A B-36 turned into a massive cargo plane. You can see how thick the wings were on the side of the fuselage.

I was just about to ask. but being in the US, I think it's an F-102 or F-106.. unless you've captured MiG's.

it's a Convair graveyard! then again, I may be wrong.. maybe it is a MiG. LOL.

Being that the airfield is Wright-Patterson where the USAF museum is located, I'd be willing to bet it is a MiG-23. Note the dark grey radome and camo on the fuselage. I'll go even further and speculate that it's ex-Egyptian.

 

We've had several MiGs in our hands over the years. We even own several MiG-29s that we bought from Moldova a bunch of years ago. Pitty they didnt reactivate an Aggressor unit with them.

It is a Mig-23, (uhem, I said that earlier too in the thread) I got pics of it in the gallery I think. (Edit: No I dont, but I have to find it) Its not Egyptian though, Its ex Polish AF. Also we have a 2 seater Mig-29 here too.

[+Dave]

In fact back in a hour with pics. They already started taking the pain off.

[+SayethWhaaaa]

I couldn't figure out what you guys were talking about. I was gonna ask if it was one of those snaps where you have to stare at it long enough before you see it, and even then it's usually a sailboat.
