What a complete crock. Why do do keep lines of fatigued airframes in lines
in the desert?

A large number will never fly again so why not just make like "normal
people" & disassemble them so they can be stored in a
"warehouse"

My but you are uncommonly full of sh*t today.

Let me quote some of your own words & those which you have quoted in
order to backup your assertions:


"Where do you read "one plane".  What article are you
reading?  The only reference to "one plane" is the one found
because its fail fins were uncovered.

"What military search teams eventually found at al Taqqadum, in July
2003,were remnants of the Iraqi Air Force as pictured above: a reported 30
to 40 planes, including several MiG-25 and Su-25 ground attack jets, buried
more than 10 feet beneath tons of soil and covered with camouflage
netting.""



"Anyone who would bury 30-40 planes in the desert is capable of anything."

Where only some of the planes were MiG-25 & others were fitters,frogfoot etc.

etc.
