"New" Draken Mirage

Post by hawgwash » Wed Jun 24, 2020 5:00 am

Not really sure where these should go so please redirect if in the wrong place. I don't feel they are really "Warbirds" as such and the "Red Air" aircraft in the US are not replicas, operated as warbirds or nostalgia. Maybe there should be a new category, Red Air, military contract or quasi military??? Thoughts?

Anyway. Former Spanish C.14-67 14-39 and "new" F1M N752EM night stopped at Fort Worth Alliance last night. It left Tuesday morning to join its compadres at Nellis AFB.

Hope you liked them. After being bed ridden for what seems like months after spine surgery, it was great to lay in the grass again :D
