SU-25 in retirement at the Prague Air Museum

Video Title :	SU-25 in retirement at the Prague Air Museum
Description :	Sukhoi SU-25 at an outdoor museum near Prague. This plane is a less sophisticated attempt to do what the A-10 does. In layout it is much more conventional than the A-10, really more like the A-9, which never went into production. The plane appeared to be extremely rugged, and was clearly able to haul a huge load of weapons. Here's the Wikipedia entry for this plane, which is extremely thorough: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhoi_Su-25 This was an amazing museum with a huge number of cold war airplanes out there corroding away in the weather. When I was younger I never thought I'd see this stuff just sitting there. I was worried we'd be seeing these MiGs and Sukhois coming over the horizon. Touching, really, to see all that military hardware dissolving. There was a lot that wasn't on display, I'm afraid. You can see some of it on Google Earth. They appear to have several Il-28s, a DC-3 (Hopefully the Soviet clone) a Gloster Meteor and an F-4 (Formerly British) in the back lot that are not on display. There are also a whole bunch of former Soviet transport planes back there. Perhaps they'll be showing them off next time I'm there.
