Tnarg Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Did it have the Kosciusko squadron badge on top of the fuselage? With the face on the tail, that looks like one of those aircraft. Nice, Tnarg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro32 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It rolls coal like my truck! Seemed to be going awfully fast with the gear down. I wonder what the limits are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The new Russian MiG's have great, curvy lines. I like them for that as they have finally gotten better looking than western jets which started to get ugly after the F-18 era. But it is the Cold war machines with vanes on the wings and a certain blockiness which will always epitomize Soviet aviation for me. And the MiG-25 screams speed and lethality when you look at it. Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
