⚡️🇭🇺 Hungarian MiG-29 9.12B maintenance in the nineties. The side of the MiG-29 shows the badge of the Hungarian Air Force 59th Aviation Regiment's 1st aviation squadron. This regiment used two MiG-29s and one L-39ZO squadron in the second half of the 1990s. (Post credit to @EasternOrbat on Twitter)

⚡️🇭🇺 The Hungarian Air Defense Force and the Soviet 36th Tactical Aviation Army used ten grass airfields in the 70s and 80s in Hungary. The MiG-21s, Su-7s and Su-17s operating from grass reserve airfields would have been more difficult to find by NATO reconnaissance during the Cold War. (Post credit to @EasternOrbat on Twitter)

⚡️🇺🇲 EF-111A Raven or Spark-Vark as it was nicknamed. A play on the name of the F-111 Aardvark. One of my favourite planes in terms of aesthetics alone. @planenerd

⚡️🇵🇰 In 1986, PAF pilot Flt. Lt. Khalid Mahmood successfully shot down a Soviet Su-22 over Parachinar. This marked the first confirmed Soviet aircraft kill by the PAF, highlighting their readiness and capability to protect national sovereignty. National morale took a hit after the disaster 1971 war with India when East Pakistan broke free to become Bangladesh. But slowly through the experience gained through these engagements, a new Modern PAF was shaping up. One that would be able to go up against India as a peer. @planenerd

Blue Angels introduced in the style of Ace Combat Zero

Mig 25/31 my beloved

⚡️🇷🇺 Soviet Tu-16 Wingtip-to-Wingtip refueling. One of the most complex aircraft refuelling systems. There was a joke in the Soviet Air Force that you could identify the pilot of an IFR-capable Tu-I6 by the sweat stains on his leather flying jacket! @planenerd

F-16 Viper Big Dawgs Excuse the fact that it's DCS
