5A-IAY and 5A-DLZ wont be getting back in the air ever again as they were destroyed at Tripoli during the Civil War on the 25/8/11.

I found these pics on a news website I couldnt understand so I dont know much details on the report but the pics and vids speak for themselves

I wonder if some of the Libyan AF Soviet Bloc aircraft made their way to the US for clandestine operations?

I doubt it. The US had their pic of ex-Soviet aircraft post 1991. EG the Moldovan Mig-29's that they bought as well as the operational German Mig-29's.
They even have a number of USAF personnel in Romania flying Mig-21's

That reminds me , years ago ( late 80's I think ) I saw a couple of USN Kfir's at Oceana NAS , foxed me at the time I thought ' what the hell are Mirages doing over here ' I had to have a good look at them before I realised what they were


Sorry , just realised thats really off thread.
