| Tabqa AFB Key Map |
Some more amazing stuff here emerged from Tabqa AFB that was seized by ISIS on 25th August. I worked on various videos and photos in coordination with the greatest GE which from I succeeded to indicate the location of each MiG-21 appeared in, and reflecting that on the 'KEY MAP' above, just download it and do your best to find the RED MiG's with their variant and serial written beside. (note that each RED aircraft is oriented as seen on footage).
Let's say that this is the first time to have a solid evidence for UM trainers with serials in range 5xx; also to see an MF with serial 18xx instead of 15xx or even the rare 4xx range alike that poor 460 damaged on the gate of this base !!

Excellent work, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSyrian airbases are littered with abandoned aircraft- I saw a video (I think it was of Kweres) that had multiple derelict Gloster Meteor airframes!
You welcome, I'm more active with your support !
DeleteKweres is sadly the place were those Meteors were cannibalized although some flew 10 hours!!!! They were fully operational when a 'wise' order been given that time to phase them out...not even store them.
