yeah - i'll say:
"The crashed one would have looked almost identical, but without the shark paint job, which was exclusively to the AVG in China"

...Never mind that the AVG copied the shark's mouth idea from RAF Tomahawks fighting in North Africa.

I'm not much of an AC builder but I like seeing galleries like these. Plane seems to be in quite a good shape after so long in the desert. Pretty much sandblasted by the desertsand. How complete is it? As this is quite an easy prey for looters I think... Of course depending how far it is from civilisation. Pretty cool thing to find.
