Operating from the military base in Tripoli, we were under strict orders to keep cameras away, and not to openly snap Military aircraft.
However, when an airshow and static display were put on, the Libyans were more than happy to show us around their kit.
This Libyan Air Force Pilot showed me around his Mig. I recall having a long chat with him, and him being a good guy. He shared the same interests as most of us in this industry.... fast planes, cars, bikes, and...... I think he had more than one wife.
I can't help wonder what he is up to now. A normal guy (apart from the wives) caught up working for the wrong person, in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A rare sight in Libya!!!......
..... I believe it's a Piaggio Avanti. Great undercarriage on those things!
