MiGs in Texas


This Polish made Korean War era Russian MiG-17 has been in this parking lot down the road from my house since we moved to this town over twelve years ago. And no one seems to know how it got there. Okay, I'm on it. It's been long enough. I'm getting to the bottom of this. 


UPDATE (11:30 am): Apparently the owner of an antique store saw this jet in a museum in Norway and bought it. They shipped it to Texas to put in front of their store next to the highway in order to attract customers. It has definitely worked in attracting attention. Not sure how long it's been there by the side of the highway, but most say at least twenty years.
