Very nice selection with great colours. Shot 2 looks very familiar as it's the regular display aircraft (due to being a jet fitted with European compatible avionics?) Flanker '30' looks well used & 'different'.
My choice has to be the Fencers, mainly due to rarity appeal. :up:

I agree. And the shark mouth works very well on them! :worship:

Very interesting, great shots. I wonder how Ukraine obtains spares and manufacturers support for the Migs and Sukhois, given the current relationship with Russia? Great light there too!
