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!
