BigAnt Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 I was driving by the Air Force Base the other day and saw a pair of fins sticking up above the fence line. :confused: I played around with the image a bit and suspect that this Mig may be Iraqi. There is a small emblem on the inside of the vertical tail surface that looks kind of like an Iraqi flag. :icon_excl Anyway I just found it pretty cool to see this bird on the base.

BigAnt Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 They have quite alot of Russian planes at Nellis :) Threat Training Facility Great website! This Mig-29 that I have seen is not in the "Museum" it is sitting out in the open on the north end of the base near the Pararescue squadron house. Hope this link works.

Oceandar Posted August 8, 2005 Posted August 8, 2005 Ouch... no wonder US won the war, I`m wondering if Russian/China have also the same things (F-15, F-16, F-14). I also think there`s should be no classified things in most of Russian jets. Cheers Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze

BigAnt Posted August 8, 2005 Author Posted August 8, 2005 looks like they are painting that mig-29 No sir! Just confirmed that this is a "recovered" Iraqi Mig-29. I was going crazy not knowing for sure so I went back today with a pair of binoculars. The small marking you can see in the picture on the inside of the right stabilizer IS and Iraqi flag. Also confirmed by a rather nice young Security Police Officer who took an interest in what I was doing! :icon_redf He told me that this particular plane was dug out of the sand along with several others. I guess Saddam felt he should bury his Air Force and save the U.S. ordinance! How thoughtful ;)
