Seen post-overhaul/upgrade and in the process of having markings applied. Turkmenistan may not have the smallest air force out there, but photos of their types are rare.

I don't really believe there is true civil aviation in North Korea. Air Koryo Il-14, retired.

And the big boys, MiG-31s.

I wonder how effective the Kazak color scheme is in the air. Looks as if it would be, but who knows?

A Nigerian Alpha Jet in very good condition. Perhaps it one of the four, from the original twenty four, recently upgraded.

Every time I see the Qatari Mirage 2000-5's, I regret that the IAF couldn't acquire these jets when they were offered, thanks to the MoD assessing their value lower than what the Qataris believed they were worth..would've allowed the IAF to raise a 4th squadron in no time, and considering the price they're now paying for upgrading their existing fleet, it wasn't high at that time at all.
