Wow, how knackered is the panelling on those fighters? Looks like they've been left out all weathers (particularly Hail!)

That's quite normal for Russian tyres and is quite safe.

My thoughts exactly! I would think twice before getting in a kit car with panels looking like that. Let alone a jet capable of Mach 2!!
