One day I was tooling along in our work buss, in the old DDR. My partner and I were looking for a farm in the old Grenzegebiet, border area. We were supposed to install some solar cells on a barn. We came into a tiny village, and there in front of a house, was an Antonov An2. It was in about 4 pieces, stacked up next to a house that looked like something out of Oliver Twist. I had to pull over. Someone actually lived there. A young guy came out when he saw me poking around. Told me he bought it from someone about ten years ago, and might get around to fixing it one day. You just never know what you will find!

There is a guy near me with the fuselage of a Mig-21 UTI (2-seater) in his driveway.

So, Setoyota, how do you get in it to play? :p

Cheers

I also have a couple of cockpits I am working on restoring. One is an F-16B rear cockpit and the second is an A-37A cockpit.

good luck

I would love to have an A37. One of my instructors in pilot training was an A37 pilot in VN. Taught me a lot. Lots of time in its little brother (T37). Neat project.

Nice job in preserving it.
My dad was an USAF pilot, so I grew up around those things...they were used as fighter unit "hacks".
They were so ubiquitous that many forget hoe historic they are. Developed from the first widely used American jet fighter, and it is no exaggeration to say the T-33 taught Western air forces how to fly jets.

Years ago at an aviation themed airport restaurant, they used a T-bird canopy as a sneeze guard on the salad bar!
