Hardly suitable for a quick reaction force, but a cool idea 8)

That's a Mg 25 Foxbat, the fastest plan ever after the SR71. It would need sever renovation after having all thatsand on it. Does anybody have any clue how that happened, the plane seems fine so it couldn't have been shot down.

I read an article on this specific incident and basicly they where hidding it. I dont remebers the details though.

Oh and the plane actually had plastic covers over it so no sand actually got in where it didnt supposed to.

That thing was uncovered sometime last year I believe. I'm surprised you guys didn't know about it, it was plastered all over the news at that time.
