The Buried MIG – Amazing.
Update Note: Don’t bother clicking on the link below, as it appears not to be working right, even though it seemed to be OK when I gave it a trial run. I apologize for the inconvenience and my technical ass-hattery.
Last month, we all heard about the military digging up a buried MIG fighter plane in Iraq. Here are some photos of the process of digging up and carting away the plane. So the Iraqis took the time and effort to bury a farookin’ plane. As we now know, they also buried lots of bodies. One can only wonder what else American shovels will turn up in that sorry-assed country. (Note: It is a Power Point file and may take a while to load, but the photos are worth the wait.)
Thanks to my friend Ken, a Vietnam Vet (Air Force), for the link.
The “buried mig” had electronics banned by nato treaties – supplied illeagaly to Iraq by the French.
Now we know one reason the French didn’t want us snooping around over there.
