SUKHOI Tipping – New game for US troops – Afghanistan

“The sprawling air base lies close to the border with Iran and life there is so slow that U.S. troops at times resort to “MiG tipping” — a game that involves standing on the tail of one of the many wrecked Soviet-era planes and tipping its nose up.

“It’s a pretty pointless and silly thing to do,” said one serviceman. “But there really isn’t that much to do around here.”
