That looks like an F-104 jet trainer or something painted up for OPFOR operations. Is that what it's supposed to be?:-?

Doesn't look like an F-104; fueselage isn't right, wings are too long, nose is too rounded. Looks like a European trainer, I forgot the type though. Delphin, or something like that, I think. :hmmm:

Obama's "socialist" plans are going to put red stars on our beloved birds, and this is just the beginning. In a few years, y'all will see BIG RED STARS on F-22 :nope:

I've seen bunch of them (and Mi-24 Hinds) flying close to our house while I was still living in the (former) Czechoslovakia.

Funny story, I've seen them here in New York State! (L-29s not the Hinds). I guess there is a group of fliers equipped with them that do airshows and whatnot.

Well one weekend the air show was in town... however I totally forgot that. So I'm walking to work and I hear a jet engine... a military jet engine, so I look up and flying over head is a single engine jet with straight wings and big old red stars for roundels.

My first thought was of course "Oh S*hit! RED DAWN!!" I nearly ran in to the woods planning to start digging a fox hole waiting for the paratroopers to start landing. :o:o:o

Then I thought "Oh yea... air show by the lake..." :oops:
