Last ones for tonight, on my way to Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan 2008. Mig 23 on a pole, interesting as Kygyzstan never operated Mig 23's! http://fotopocket.nl/fpimages/2010/01/13/12bcc47160c3a0ce92a646433732cc4b/DSC08392.jpg http://fotopocket.nl/fpimages/2010/01/13/93c4e6d90f80a8b96a1f285d73514724/DSC08398.j...
