Re: Buried Iraqi MIG recovered
You can find the most unusual things in the most unusual places sometimes. Wonder if it is in operatable condition (right after it gets the sand washed off and have one or two things patched up quickly.)

Re: Buried Iraqi MIG recovered
I have seen these photos back in 2003.
But yeah interesting, just buried in the sand. Not the best idea to hide them at, but were there other options ? Edited: After digging the photos from some websites, they were infact covered by plastic. Edited my comment.

Re: Buried Iraqi MIG recovered
The Iraqi Air Force also flew several of their aircraft to Iran and now Iran is happily flying them! I believe there were several fighter jets as well as some refueling tankers.
