This mornings 'rag' paper (Houston Chronicle) had an article headed:

"PILOT CRASHES OLD MIG ON TAKEOFF"

Pilot was flying to an Air Show at Bloomington, IN and stopped at
Little Rock National Airport for fuel. On take-off lost power and was
too far down R/W to stop, running off the end.

Put one in a museum and recycle the rest into canoes.

asked him about warbirds).
