Su-27

Hi comrades!

I planned to get back into action with a new month but... bad luck didn't leave me alone :/ Probably my hard disk had only few hours of life and I need to resolve this serious problem :/ To this time I'm still in suspend mode but make notice that I'll be back in 'few' moments

BTW - I got very interesting photos from Gudauta (end of 80's and early 90's) so check it!

Hi guys!

I catch another set of great photos of our favourite истребитель (fighter) Cy-27. I found them when I search some info about Sukohi's in Poland. Now my knowledge is much more about this - biggest surprise that we had about 69 such fighters here in Poland

My suggestion is to merge this thread with 'Early 90's on Caucasus' and maintain some cool thread with Su-27 misc stuff... but this is only suggestion and You're bosses

First of all (more will be later and if You like it cause now I'm in work ) machine from early 90's with... number which I think you like it from known reasons

#51 preparing

#51 taxiing

#51 with #48

#51 CAP completed

Again, great shots Sniffer! Where are you finding these?

Thx Case - these photos is very important for me cause were taken in Poland Kluczewo where our Russian friends 'live' with their Sukhoi's and other stuff...
BTW. We had about 6-7 Russian airfields to end of 1993. Except this 159 GvIAP we had 582 IAP in Chojna Airfield. This airfields are checked on this map:
