There are tons of old birds at every Russian airport I have been to... Most of the Eastern Block Euro states as well. I was in UHPP Petropovlask (I can never spell that one) last week and saw all kinds of old cold war stuff. It was quite a site!

You'd love the farm of a friend of mine who for many
years has been shipping MiGs and Sukhois and L29/L39's
in containers to his place, where he reassembles them
and flies them off a grass strip you would hesitate to land
a 172 on. I guess afterburners help reduce the takeoff
roll, though I would worry about a grass fire.
Unbelievable collection of parts.

Re: Warbirds boneyard
Anybody knows who owns the old jets laying around Markham airport north of Toronto. Or any other location in Canada having warbirds sitting around and looking for a new owner.
Ex soviet country might be too complicated to import, but any info on the subject would be apreciated.

There are 5 L29's and 4 L39's on the Canadian
registry, so it can be done.

Re: Warbirds boneyard
They are all owned by a bogus museum called " The Air Land and Sea Museum " , though at times I have heard it named other things.Turcgncz wrote:Anybody knows who owns the old jets laying around Markham airport north of Toronto.

The owner of the Airport is the Thompsom Corp but the airframes are a part of this fake Museum run by the Airport Manager.
My advice having done business with them in the past KEEP CLEAR OF THEM !!
