Damn, thats pretty awesome! Those pictures look pretty legit to me. (My gut reaction was "movie prop" but it looks too good!). Any idea where it is (Libya?), and if there are plans to save/restore it?

Great find, thanks for sharing!

Joe

That's an incredible find. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't get looted to death now.

Great story....I turned the information and pictures over to Ed Malone at the planes of fame air museum.....with luck he will know someone who could retrieve it, if not the museum it self.

If the protection to them in the creates were good enough, then they would pretty much just need normal assembly to make them airworthy....
Making each one priceless, with ZERO hrs on the airframe.
