A small contribution from my side:

I never saw them flying as German Phantom, but as Greece one they are even as stunning.

Althought it is still flying in the Greece Airforce, I think that all of us can commit that this one is a living Dinosaur.

Some more dinos.

OA-37B Dragonfly of the Pennsylvania ANG at London Airshow June 1988.

A T-33A of 84th Fighter Interceptor Training Squadron (Castle AFB) at Edwards AFB, January 1987.

A MiG-23MF at Slupst, July 1995.

And the mighty Shackleton at IAT Fairford in 1987.

Doei! Rob

All very nice pics, (keep ´m coming) but I´m getting confused.

The theme of this thread is becoming blurry. Are we posting just old pics? Or pics of old aircraft? If so, when does an aircraft get the title ´old´?

For example: A MiG-29 taken in 2003 , does that really belong in this thread? Might as well upload an F-16 from 2005 then.

I would say "When It's a dino" It's ok!

Shall I ......or shall I not??? Yes....I shall: It´s extinct and not extinguished (geblust)

MiG-29 is no dino, first delivery in 1983 currently in use with 26 air forces

Yes, that's against the rules, but we'll have to see that through the fingers.
Oh my gods, an F-4D...

We call that endangered species! (like the Siberian tiger)
