The airport is coming to life. The Bear's engine in on and we should hear it run before long.

Good news on the Bear! Looks like a roughed up Mig-21?

There are Mig parts all over the Aviation Classic's grounds.

Pretty sure that's the one that lost brakes and went off the end of the runway not too long ago.

Looks like she is stripped of anything valuable and ready for recycling, my first thoughts.

Hmm... a lot of Mig parts laying around on the ground. There must be an F-4 in the air somewhere nearby!

Bears are real hungry after a long hibernation, maybe the Bear ate some of the MIGs go-fast parts, I 'll be looking for any sign of afterburner smoke from the tail of the Bear (smile).
