You know, parking those planes like that looks incredibly dumb, but maybe it's not. No one is THAT dumb. Maybe these planes were broken down duds they couldn't fix, or even dummies. I didn't see any delta wing shapes like all the latest fighters have. The planes look a lot like ancient Mig 17's and 19's, dating back to the Korean War period. Also, the remaining mostly intact planes didn't burn - no fuel aboard. This kinda looks like some spoofing going on.

I thought it was said that most of their "good" planes and helicopters were flown out of the country - to safety.... But then, who ever knows the truth with these "turbo's"

Also, (looking at the 'damage' to the parked planes, you'll note the craters that continue past the targets. Someone was a little late on releasing the stick of bombs.

Musta been Air Force. :-p

BTW, if you look at the "after" picture of the bombed camp-- take a look at the nice circle in the sand the pressure wave from the BIG bomb made in the upper right of the photo. THAT was a serious explosion.

You could be quite right and I think it's a good theory - but I also have a theory (depending on whether some of the reports we've seen are accurate) that the folks who would normally order the Air Force pukes to move those planes to a safe location are now dead, and the people who would've moved them are more worried about running for the hills than saving some aircraft. I think either theory is potentially valid at this point...

Note the absence of any tire marks leading up to where the planes are parked. Looks to me like a lot of wrecks were cleared up.
