Mig 21 @ OSH

[[email protected]]

I'm going to ask the collective wisdom:
I remember in my comings and goings at OSH every summer a collection of
classic jets, including a Mig 21. (but I remember a Hunter, Mig 15,
Fouga?) Usually parked over by the warbird area. Are they owned by EAA?
Are they airworthy? Where are they kept?
I asked a person at the counter of the museum about 3 months ago, and
they of course didn't have the first clue as to what I was talking
about...
More curious than anything else. I vaguely remember something about EAA
coming into this collection but then nothing else.

Well, they've been there forever -- they must be owned by EAA.

They are not airworthy. (Some of the canopies are painted over from the
inside.)

They used to belong to a dude in Texas (I can't remember his name off
hand...Jim something or other) and then he donated them to the EAA back in
the early 90's. At the time of donation, they were all airworthy.

Get to answer myself here. The person who owned the jets was Jim Robinson
and he started the Combat Jets Flying Museum. In addition to the MiG, he had
a Hawker Hunter, Soko Galeb, and an A-4B Skyhawk. There are probably a few
more I am missing.
