Amazing MiG-21 Sculpture Done In Cuban Sugar
Mon Jul 22, 2013 2:40 pm
Check out this amazing life size Cuban sugar sculpture of a MiG-21 that was found on a North Korean ship passing through the Panama Canal. Apparently, it was being sent as a gift to Kim Jong-un, the dear leader of North Korea. Fearing that the hungry North Korean crew would eat the tasty gift on the way home, the Cubans secretly hid a 2nd one under more sacks of Sugar. Sweet!!!

The search of the ship was delayed for a while after rain dampened the cargo of sugar, resulting in the visit of every bee in Central America.....

Forget the international arms trade...
I'm surprised that the US (the First lady and the mayor of New York in particular) doesn't stop the ship to protect North Korean kids from the evils of sugar.

Haven't you seen what the TSA thinks the C-172 can do to a nuclear reactor dome? Those little airplanes are a lot more dangerous than they look. Why you can probably put 100 or maybe even 200 pounds of explosives on board!

I got to see this one fly a few years back. It's N1165 and is owned by MiGs of Delaware, LLC. He has three MiG 21s, two MiG 23s, and one L-29 Delfin. Not sure if he has more than that or not. Talk about a private air force!

The Cold War Air Museum at Lancaster, Tx has one that they are working towards flying again.
