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
Anyway, I drove through that town again and SURPRISE. Look whats sitting there now.

Cool, I think I have a picture of 1611. I will see what I can find.

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.

Man, after this and the Stinson Museum thread, I'm about to pack up the Nikons and come scouting around with you down there. Neat finds!

Question, are those Mig-17s?

The one obviously is, the other I'm not sure. The canopies are different.

From Dallas, you can drive down I-35 or 281. 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.
Yes, MiG-17's.
The one on the flatbed is a two-seater.... A rare aircraft ?
Cool find, TL....

"Surprise" is right.
