Re: After the warship, a RC135

One more incident occurred in 1987 when a Su-27 slammed into a Norwegian P-3B. Both were damaged, the crew of the P-3 was lucky to escape unhurt.

Re: East German aircraft

Almost all Mi-24 Hinds were sold. Several Mi-24Ds went to Poland and are still in service.
Many others went to Hungary. Most (Mi-24Ds) were used for spare parts, but others (Mi-24Ps) flew on until 2013.
Many An-26s were sold to civilian operators.

Re: Zhukovsky MosAero 1992

Wow, very rare. That twin seat Su-7 and Ka-25 Hormone (not a Ka-27) are amazing, must have been the last airworthy survivors of their type. Most of the others were still there in 1993.

Re: Szolnok AFB, Open Day, 2015

Very nice!
It looks like some of the aircraft from the Szolnok museum (now closed) are now on display on the base. The feathered Mi-24, yellow MiG-21 and special L-39 were in the museum a few years ago. Levente, what happened to the other museum aircraft?

Cheers,
