The two to the left are it's American counterpart, the North American Aviation F-86 'Sabre'.The red plane at lower right is not so readily identifiable.

| Re: Unusual Private Aircraft | judgelrae | 8/8/03 9:32 PM | Actually, the two jets to the left side are Mig-15's and the one to the right is a Mig-17. The F-86 wing span ranged from 37' to 39' and the length ranged from 37' to 40'. While the Migs were pretty constant wing span of 31' to 33' and a length right |

| Re: Unusual Private Aircraft | judgelrae | 8/10/03 11:01 PM | Yup, According to the FAA registration database there are 32 Mig-15's, 9 Mig-17's, 33 Mig-21's, 2 Mig-23's and 2 Mig-29's registered in the US.

| Re: Unusual Private Aircraft | RRU | 7/21/05 6:28 AM | I don't quite agree with the last interpretation. Don't you think the top one would rather be a Czech L39 albatros ? |
| Re: Unusual Private Aircraft | Skyward | 7/23/05 12:20 AM | Here's my photo interpretation of whatcha got there: The eastern-most row is, from north to south: 1. L-39 Albatros 2. MiG-15 UTI (2-seater) 3. MiG-15 4. MiG-17F 5. MiG-15 UTI (2-seater) 6. MiG-15 UTI (2-seater) 7. C-123 I believe the red aircraft |

Good article about "Air USA" here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.10/kirlin.html?pg=1&topic=kirlin&topic_set= His location (Quincy Regional Airport) is low res though. Scifi |
| Re: Unusual Private Aircraft | yonderboy | 11/5/05 8:46 PM | I believe the helicopter is a US101 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=US101+helicopter It's pretty big and the US101 seems to fit the bill. |
