Here's some MIG-21 variants of the Hungarian AF, in different stages of repair/dis-repair! Looks like a used car lot!

What a crap time for the economy to be in the tank! I know there are at least a small handfull of investors who otherwise would probably make a stab at some of these.

One of the SU-17's shown in better days, Kecskement AB 1990. I also met Dean Martin who was at the Base buying some of their Mig's.
