Yesterday while riding the bus into WWII Weekend at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum I spotted what looked to be three disassembled Su-25's adjacent to the reading air charter building.

So, was I seeing things? Anyone have more info?

Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture as I was on the far side of the bus.

OK, I found a facebook video shot aboard one of the C-47's during the show as it flew over the show field. You can definitely see four Greenish / brown jet fuselages with blue tarps over the noses between the air charter place and the western most hangar.

Here is a link to the video.

Yeah, they are there. If I'm not mistaken, they have been there at least a year now.

Panchito was parked next to them after she blew a cylinder.

There are four there in total, all ex Czech: 5003, 5039, 8078, 9014
They have been at Reading since at least August 2012. They were hangared initially.

Thank you all for the additional info and confirming I wasn't hallucinating in the heat. I've never seen an Su-25 in person before so I was quite surprised.

Anyone know what the plans are for these aircraft? Fly, static, etc?

Your surprise is quite understandable. I had no idea there were any Frogfoots (Frogfeet? The Russians call them "Rooks") there. I've seen a few of them flying in their original service and know of a few scattered around the US but didn't know those were at that location.
There are numerous former Soviet jet warbirds scattered around the US (most not allowed to fly), some are squirrelled away in hangars like this.
