He not in the wild as he is with other friends.

Mine was Aeropark about a 10-5 min drive from me

That reminds me, why do the Drakens still not have droptanks

the drakens and a Lot of other planes that really should have them

Idk m8

The J-10 is a different plane than the Lavi, just like the Tu-4 is different from the B-29, or the Z-20 is different from the UH-60.

If you look at the specs and the aircraft along with Sino-Israeli cooperation at the time, you can plainly see it is a Lavi, which has been tuned and upgraded to suit PLAAF needs.

are those fuel tanks or fat bombs?

iirc, restoring and maintaining jets is INSANELY hard. Looks like that Hunter got a layer of clearcoat sealant to make it more weather resistant. Thing is, this kind of work is super specialised and super careful which makes it very costly. Which sadly, these kinds of airfield museums don’t have alot of money to put as much love into their airframes as they would like. (donate to your local airfields so we don’t miss out on seeing these awesome aircraft fr fr)

Must be bombs, why else would they have that nub on the tip

Edit: nevermind, Jaguar droptanks just look weird like that
