They kept the MIG-29, and gave away some types, e.g. MI-24. Some transports/helicopters stayed in use till the mid '90s. And the rest was put in storage and latter wrecked.

Absolutely brilliant. And to think that Foxbats really were just over the road in Europe, really not that long ago!

To think (so the rumour goes) that the Foxbat was built to counter the Valkyrie :lol:

Fantastic set. If only i'd been born sooner and been able to go over and see such amazing aircraft! If you have more then i'm sure we'd all like to see them!
