When did you take these pictures? I was there 2 years ago and the complex was completely empty.

4 years a go. Inside many tanks, trucks and other vehicles captured to Israeli Army and two Israel Air Force F4 relics I search the photos.

But these two pictures are not taken at the Museum of the Syrian Armed Forces, but at the October War Memorial. That one also had a MiG-21 and a Mi-8 on display two years ago.

Indeed very rare birds, most of them were shot down during the turkey shoot in 1982! Score 82-1 or something ;-)
Real gutsy to show the remains of an A-4 ;-)
Just love the smell of JP-4 fumes in the morning!!
