On Monday we made a quick trip to Lakeland, FL to visit the Aviation museum, here are a few pics from the trip.

I think Twinboom was talking about getting together for a trip there at sometime.

Very cool!
But.. why does the A4 have a soviet star on the tail?
I can understand the mig.. or SU.. or whatever it is..
-
I believe a number of A4's were used as aggressors.

Ahhh.. that makes sense.. Thanks!

The Draken that says 299 on the nose strongly resembles a Mig-21. Is there any relationship between the two?

Draken International is the name of the company that owns these A/C. It is a mig21 I think.

These aviation picture threads from museums and such are one of the best kind on this forum. Keep up the good work!

Always wondered how the A4 would stack up against a Mig 17 in a guns fight.
-
MiG-19 always fascinated me. Lots of great camo schemes to.

Nice photos!
Mig 21 looks cool, i was very impressed 30+ years ago when i saw one for first time ! :devil still in service in Romania !
F-14 :rock , i read were all chopped in pieces not to get into iranian hands for spare parts :bhead

That Pogo is pretty awesome. But working for Drakken would be even awesomer. If that's the company I'm thinking of they have an air force that would make some third world dictators jealous.

If I'm not mistaken, this is not a Pgo but a Lockheed XFV Salmon. This plane on display is the single flying protopype of the program. Nice looking contraption IMO ;)

If I remember right I saw this plane at Lockheed in GA when I was a boy.
