Linden Hill s gonna make a decal sheet for SU-27UB with Kazakh flag used as a fin flash. http://www.lindenhillimports.com/lhd32006.htm.
I wonder if it is authentic as there ve never been any pictures of Kazakh AF planes with that kind of marking. Any thoughts?

Here we go ;) The cockpit photos are not too good (I had to take them through the canopy) but there are zero around the web, so they are better than nothing.
I have all the pics in 3264x2448 resolution so if anyone needs a particular one just tell me :)

What really amazed me was the size of this aircraft, the T-33 and the MiG-21 in the same museum looked like giants when compared to the HA-300. The range must have been a devastation, especially with payload. On the other hand in it probably would have been almost invisible.

Really a fascinating aircraft, too sad there is no good model kit of it...

Sudanese Mil Mi-1, Khartoum 1970

Don't be fooled by the UAR flag, Nasser was special guest at the parade and the flag was flown in his honour.

Hi, thanks a lot Tango III and Flex, I'm very interested on the other photos you offered, specially those of Yemen, I never seen one of this. Here I post another pic, this time something very strange. It's the Z-11 which was tested by the Argentine Army in 2006. It was painted with Argentine colors, with both flags (Argentina and China) and with Chinese serial number. The offer includes the mounting of the helicopters by the Argentine Army, but a claim by Eurocopter led to the end of the Argentine interest.

Hueys

Hola Santiago

I am also very interested in Huey users. If you need I have my photos of Croatian AB 212. Have you maybe any photo of Ecuadorean or Mexican three tone camo 212's?
