Aggressor Supporter Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Good pics at those links. I'm guessing those are older Flankers as they have the green noses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Very cool pics Mario. Hoping to visit that place next year. I have noticed two things: 1: Those pics confirms that early UB's also had the early stinger. I wasn't sure before. 2: I have always thought that the early stinger meant no flares at all. But those holes seems to be for flares: http://litnik.in.ua/component/option,com_d...etail/id,12204/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is not a rule, but generally older ones have green dielectric color. i think that is what color they have in stock, they paint with it! Very cool pics Mario. Hoping to visit that place next year.

I think that all of those aircraft waiting for overhaul, or for better days in Ukraine! Look on hidraulical cylinders: they are on all aircraft sealed in paper, and all openeings are protected, i think just waiting their turn for overhaul! Those aircraft don't have to much flying hours!
