• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

What a waste

I've climbed on some of the Mig-25s in Iraq, tried to do the same in Afghanistan on some Su-22s, about the same time we found out the area around them was still mined.
 
That Do-728 fuselage broke my heart.


(Funnily enough it's stored at Tempelhof, but I've never seen it.)
 
It is an amazing collection of hulks, you really have to love those Russian ground affect machines, they really did come up with the real McCoy 1990 Si-fi stuff:untroubled:
 
As long as examples of all these aircaft have been saved for posterity, I saw most of these military rotting hulks as a sign that the cold war didn't happen, at least not yet!
