Country:  | Surprise in a small Texas town
I remember last year doing a post talking about driving through this little town in Texas called Burnet (pronounced burn-it) and finding this little air museum. Here is the link http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...ever-7325.html (Best weekend EVER)
Anyway, I drove through that town again and SURPRISE. Look whats sitting there now.

Country: | Wow! That is awesome find. Is that 2 seperate Migs or the same one at different stages of restore?
Scratch that, two different Migs. I see the difference.

I-35 is a wicked pain in the a** to drive because of traffic congestion between Waco and Austin. Or, take 281 which is a beautiful peaceful drive through the edges of the hill country and you get to see all these nice small towns, deer on the side of the road, and stop at Dairy Queen for a Blizzard!!!!!! yummy.
