In pic 006, why in the world would anyone graft the nose of what looks
to be a Mig 21 on to a bizjet?

To test the new radome for the Romanian MiG-21 Lancer upgrade.

Wouldn't it make more sense to test it on the Mig where it has the right
airflow?

Very cool series...
Even though I am not Jewish my brother lives in Israel; and in whatever
century I manage to save the money and get back over there to see this
place...

I never realized the IAF used Avengers and yet there is clearly and an
Avenger in the background..

And until it does, at all speeds?

Shoot, I don't know. It just looked to me like it was a whole lot of
work making a really weird looking bird for a very limited purpose. But
what do I know? I was a Tank Commander...

Klankety Klank, I'm a Tank!
