Right Bill I misspoke, I meant to say VHF, or VHF Comm antenna. It seems to not be encapsulated, but solid Aluminum.

Dave,
It it is sticking up vertically from the plane, it is most likely a COM antenna, since VOR antenna's are horizontally polarized and COM's are vertically polarized.

Subject: [FlyRotary] What about this antenna.
This is a picture of the antenna on the wreckage of a MiG-29 that is lying around our base. I am trying to "acquire" it, thinking that it is a VOR antenna and would make a neat addition to N4VY. I will not be easy for it to end up in my possession, so not worth it if it is not going to work.... anyone with more experience?
