Description
In 1986 The Company sent me down to Havana posing as a Canadian businessman. My assignment was to check out surplus Eastern Block equipment that Castro had acquired to beef up his military against the Yanqui Imperialist. Caught this poorly hidden ex-Polish Mig 21 out in the open. Mission accomplished with plenty of time for a Cuba Libre and dinner with Fidel.
OK, I'm lying. This fighter was sitting in back of the Lone Star Flight Museum at Scholes Field in Galveston, Texas.

You were drawing me right in...a teacher working for The Company...why not? Always neat to see something like this parked next to you in the supermarket parking lot too.
good stuff, bubba! I love the story about the first one of these flown out of Red China to Japan or Taiwan... the Chinese demanded its return, so we sent it back... in about 100 crates, totally disassembled!
too bad the story turned out fictions... wish it was true!
Good picture erland
Fantastic shot my friend....!!!
Make that two Cuba Libre (mine with extra rum)! Neat picture! The plane Texboy was reffering might have been a Mig 25 that strayed to Cyprus (if I remember correctly) I say strayed because I can't remember the money we offered! Also great lead in story. Sounded real to me! ;)
I agree with nikolais! Fantastic shot!
I like the first story best.
great shot, and the story is even better!!!!!!!!!!
Great shot. You had me going. Just about believed you!
You have me smiling here.. Grand shot Rodge. Hugs. Diane. xx
Nice one, on both accounts ---------------- Actually Osper the Mig 25 went to Japan in 1976 flown by Victor Belenko. There is a very interesting book by the man himself, describing the wereabouts of his adventure,very similar to the James Bond style that intrigued us (can I make mine a daquiri?) P
Ha, you had me going for a while and I loved the story, so convincing! The canvas adds a lot of secrecy to your capture.
this is a old top secret stuff here. cool shot of it
Great 'mis'-lead..picture fits your story perfectly.As Bill say's "Why not"?.. Novel cammo, though low-vis might work the wrong way round :)
I am going to visit there my next trip to the coast.I was believing at first, but I take people for face value most of the time as long as it does not involve my money-haha
You bugger! You had me ....... That said a really great find sitting out the back of anywhere.... Well done on the 'snoop'! Film on the way mate! Take care. Sorry for the late comment.... rob.
